The short answer: Because RHEL is based on Fedora development.
The long answer: Because RH believes/believed that the laptop
environment is/was a key part of its growth strategy. The recent
phenomenon of the widespread adoption of smart phones and tablets in
place of laptops may bring that into question now, but the move to
laptops was a deliberate business choice in my opinion.
It remains to be seen whether or not RH can have its cake and eat it
too. Sysadmins tend to be rather prickly people when it comes to
people and things that appear to waste their time. It seems to me a
strategy of dubious worth aggravating ones installed based chasing a
chimera.
However that may be, the world moves on and we perforce move with it
or are left behind.
