I can assure you, releatively speaking, support for KDE is _not_ fanatical. Possibly the opposite.
When I was first exposed to Linux in RH9 I found that KDE did not work consistently
and that finding was quite possibly right. I started with RH8.0 +6 Gnome myself.
and chose to use GNome. Recently I have started to use core 5. KDE may work well in the current distro but I have become more familiar with GNome; apart from a personal preference I can see no technical reason to consider one better than the other.
That, my friend, is because you have not used both.
I assume by the strong support from many there may be a technical reason to support KDE over GNome, what are they.
I don't think you will see anyone answering this question. At least not in this thread. This is just asking for a flame war. -- To be updated...
