And yet some apps can be considered part of the system - IM, back-up, even things like email & calendaring. And then there are apps that provide system services (things like an onscreen keyboard, screenshots, an alternative way to share files, a new IM service, an application-specific screensaver, an alternative search/indexing tool, etc). If we hard-code what GNOME supports into the design, when the needs evolve then we need a centralised decision for each new need. Better to provide a way for applications to integrate with system settings, and provide clear guidelines in the HIG on when doing so is appropriate, no?
