I fail to see how a solid cursor is that much harder to find than

There's a reason it's been like this in like ... forever.
Doesn't it strike you as strange to change one of the
longest established conventions on a whim?!?
Tradition is not an argument in fedora.
Sometimes traditions have good reasons - There are reasons why wheels
are shaped round and not rectangular.
Just as a nitpick, wheels are round for a technical reason, not because
of tradition.
A matter of perspective. Some will say cursors are blinking for
technical reasons.
E.g.
* When using real terminals (or remote logins or runlevel 3), they often
are the only indication of a system being alive or not.
* Certain applications apply multiple cursors. The active one often is
blinking to highlight it.
Conversely: Most kids, at some point in their lifes will proudly present
their parents the vehicle with triangular or rectangular wheels they
assembled from LEGO kits or similar.
