I hardly think that KDE is intentionally crippled at all. If anything
my guess is that it just isn't as thoroughly tested. I think this
reflects more on the participation of KDE users in the testing process
of the Fedora development process. I guess the only proof to that
statement would be some fancy bugzilla reporting. If a bug exists for
one community or the other, it isn't going to be fixed unless it is
reported.
One factor to consider is those that have a preference for either KDE or
Gnome are likely to choose a distro that defaults to their preferred
desktop. So, since Fedora defaults to Gnome, it's more likely that
Gnome users will use it (which makes it a sort of self-fulfilling
prophecy).
I wouldn't be surprised to find that distros that default to KDE get
less testing with Gnome.
