They simply didn't have any defaults before, for the past few releases and forced users to pick a desktop environment justifying it as "pro choice and pro freedom". Now they have realized that trying to satisfy everybody is a path to failure and picked what their community wanted as the default. Fedora has always had a default. Fedora got it right.
