3. I guess I just find it strange that this mechanism is so decentralised. Can anyone use <mandatory_for_desktop>?
Yes.
Who makes the decisions about what's included and what isn't? How is that monitored and managed?
Application developers make the decision themselves by specifiying it in the application's metainfo.xml/appdata.xml. It's certainly suboptimal.
There used to be a list of "core" desktop files maintained by GNOME Software, so this was not a problem. But this metadata wound up being pushed into appstream a couple years ago.
