Don't see any evidence of dogmatic slumbering within Fedora.  Just
a realistic appraisal of what can be provided and what is appropriate
to provide under the very clear objectives of the project.   You seem
to think your goals should be those of the project, but have given
nothing more than a world domination pipe dream as a reason.

There's a worthwhile and valuable group being served well by Fedora.
Those that want or need proprietary solutions aren't stopped from 
getting them, they're a simple download the same as is required
on Windows in many cases.   

There is simply no need to start the Fedora core project down that 
slippery slope of providing or encouraging proprietary solutions.
