Or the fact that the default is available everywhere and is worth getting used to. Remapping emacs key bindings is a good example. You can remap your keybindings to be "more productive". However, when you sit in front of someone *else's* emacs, you will be completely lost. Consequently, most people stick pretty close to the default config.
Also, as many of the Gnome folks have pointed out, a lot of choices can be buried into add-on software.
While the default Gnome system may not allow you to directly adjust the behavior, external add-ons may. This is actually a pretty decent compromise. If enough people are willing to go through the hassle of installing a particular extension, that's a good indication that extension should be considered for inclusion.
This seems to work pretty well for Apple; it ought to work pretty well for Gnome, too.
