aarch64 IS available. The firmware supports it when the appropriate options are enabled and the upstream 4.8 kernel supports it. The upstream kernel drivers for the Raspberry Pi, when built as a 64 bit kernel. A lot of the out of tree drivers (video offload etc) have issues with 64 bits mode.
The reason Fedora doesn't currently support it is purely the amount of time available in the Fedora 25 cycle and best output for the time investment, also a single image can boot on either the Pi2 or Pi3 so less confusion for the average end user where it makes no real difference (same reason as the Pi foundation). Look for aarch64 support in Fedora 26 :)

But that's "NOT available" in my dictionary! I don't care if there is a kernel which works with the CPU if I can't use the most basic of functionalities that RPi provides (BT, WiFI, accelerometer...). I'd be happy to be corrected, but you'll need to supply some citations.
