Gee, thanks. I'm biased because I think:

1) The desktop spin of Fedora is GNOME-based.
2) The default desktop of Fedora is GNOME.
3) The most popular download of Fedora is the x86 Desktop Spin (which, from #1, happens to be GNOME-based)
4) There are far more maintainers of GNOME involved in Fedora than KDE.
5) A beginner choosing the Fedora desktop environment with more maintainers and support seems likely to have a better experience than a beginner that chooses the desktop with less maintainers and support. 6) Overwhelming new users with multiple permutations of Fedora to download is probably a bad idea from a usability perspective. 7) The get Fedora page has traditionally been too complicated because it is so cluttered and the websites team have received many complaints to this effect.

You forgot:
8) The large majority of our existing documentation and manuals [1] refers to the GNOME desktop.
