Red Hat (as a company) is a massive contributor to Gnome. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions#GNOME_developers https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions#GNOME_d... (interesting to compare with their KDE developers just below). The whole reason everybody got stuck with systemd is because Gnome wouldn't run without it. Every distribution had a choice of getting rid of Gnome or moving to systemd. I actually gave up Gnome several years ago when they decided to make it so that every window shared an IME. That would mean that I couldn't have a window that had Japanese input and a window that had Roman input at the same time. Red Hat developers were busy making patches to every IME that existed so that it would follow the grand vision of what they had decided for Gnome. The only hold out was FCITX. I think they eventually saw reason but there was a good year or so where Red Hat was bent on breaking my computer just because that's what the Gnome developers had decided was best for everybody. Red Hat doubled down on Gnome a long time ago. They aren't interested in anything else. Edit: Also of note - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions#Desktop_Software https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_contributions#Desktop... Go down the list a bit and notice: "GNOME Shell - Primary development by Owen Taylor and many Red Hat developers and interaction designers" among many other core Gnome infrastructure.
