I wouldn't say it's "policy" but it is the current situation. The GNOME screen keyboard does not use Caribou. It is built into GNOME Shell. It has far less features than Onboard. The GNOME implementation is currently more about basic keyboard access on a touch-only device instead of as a full-featured accessibility aid.
