It's not like GNOME adhere to the UNIX design principles in the first place.
Also, I get that they'd want to streamline their stuff.
They literally describe their infra as "Gnome OS". They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the "Gnome brand". They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won't be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and "GnomePilot", considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.
They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.
This makes no sense. GnomeOS is the operating system Gnome uses to test their software: https://os.gnome.org/. What is wrong with this? What the hell is "the right to customize your terminal"? And how does this imply that gnome is corporate at all?? They are making 0 dollars off of users by doing this. There's a tiny chance they just want to make something different. You don't have to like it or use it, but its pretty obvious you don't even understand it and haven't made any attempt to.
In that sense, CosmicDE coming out of alpha in hopefully a year might provide a decent alternative of Gnome does go astray.
