I wouldn't say Fedora "follows blindly" but rather chooses an upstream from some alternatives (their ability to handle feedback from us beeing one ot the criterias).
Gnome has been the default, unless I'm misremebering since *before* Fedora (RH8/9 or earlier). That's not incompatible with 'chooses an upstream from some alternatives' but does suggest some inertia. Maybe if Gnome really thinks distros might drop them they'd think harder about introducing unwanted workflow changes every other release.
The actual problem is the current Gnome 3 being an entirely different product than Gnome 2, which usability-wise has *nothing* in common with Gnome2 and addresses a completely different target audience.
You ordered Gnome and have been served Pizza for a long time - now you're being served Burgers :-)

Well, from a nutrition perspective that's actually a big step forward. Perhaps time to trust the chef? ;)
