I'm guessing you must be using the Gnome classic layout if you have a utilities group somewhere. But in that case, it's still easily available. I do have the terminal in my favourites, but I almost never click it because it's easier to hit the logo button and type "ter<enter". I don't even need to touch the mouse. Why do you consider that hidden anyway? It is a utility and if you really want it as a favourite, it's easy to put it there.

I'm pretty sure near 100% of users add Terminal to the favorites
immediately after install.

Unlikely. There are a lot of non-technical users of Fedora. At a school I support, I have done well over a hundred Fedora installs for teachers and students and only 1 teacher and a few students would have any idea what to do with the terminal. I've also installed it for family and friends and maybe 1 of those would be able to make any use of the terminal.

Surely the #1 use case of Fedora on the desktop IS the terminal?

I don't read email in the terminal, I don't access web sites in the terminal, I don't IRC in the terminal, etc. But I do have over 20 terminal tabs open.
