The problem for me is: 1) 3rd party repos mean a tremendous effort 2) 3rd party repos means not being able to ship them for all Fedora architectures. 3) The packages also have a Windows based user-base. Having them in Fedora would have avoided 1), 2). It also would have helped the upstream projects behind the packages and would have helped to decrease 3) - Fedora missed this opportunity.
