and essential are mutually exclusive characteristics WRT to normal desktop

overhead, way more imposition on older hardware. 3D cannot be essential to
users of older hardware, since it turns their hardware into unresponsive mush.
3D is not just for games and bling. People who work on CAD/CAM, 3D
rendering software etc would definitely find it essential. It is not
something Red Hat focuses on too much and requires more community
development. For them, it makes sense to participate in the test days or
try out Rawhide and report bugs as early as possible to help get the
next release in a shape suitable for their requirements.
