The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

Fedora's key selling point is being up to date and extremely boring. It's mainly just off-the-shelf software, with minimal niche custom software. Flathub and Steam are available from the setup process. It's the most Linux Linux that Linuxes today.

Edit: the bonus is that Red Hat being a sponsor means that the biggest improvements to the Linux desktop come to Fedora first. That's what happened with PipeWire.
