Not that it's even relevant, but could you back up this statement?
How do you mean political here?

Who are "these same people" you refer to? Are they the guys that
actually work on Anaconda and the rest of Fedora or are they nameless
folks in some IRC channel (whose opinions and reasons don't mean a
thing as far as what actually happens in the distro)?
The bottom line is that Fedora is primarily Gnome and GTK+ based
distro. If you don't like that default, you are free to help the
folks working on KDE and QT to improve them to such a point that they
become the obvious choice for the default install. You could also
simply install Fedora and choose KDE, using the options in the
installer, or the KDE spin of F7.
