I think that's unfair they had clearly put a lot of thought into it. I'd argue this is a very clear-cut case of letting perfect be the enemy of good and software engineers thinking they're lawyers. Might want to get some real legal advice on the matter if you're potentially leaving a user without a system that can't research the problem.
It's not even clear what part of data controllers and/or processor means to the providers of software users choose to install in which a system default fallback makes the Fedora org subject to GDPR. AWS might want to worry if they're providing the running Fedora system for me.

It didn't solve any technical issues, it didn't consider negative side effects, and was completely unnecessary.
