One reason not to do it is that it spreads the available resources
over multiple separate environments that must be maintained
independently.

Flexibility like that comes at a cost.  The result will likely be
lower overall quality, fewer features, and longer schedules as the two
compete for attention.  This is particularly true for the places where
the underlying infrastructure is different.

I can't say I'm a big fan of GNOME either (I'm still running twm in
most places), but I appreciate the reason why exactly one default
environment was chosen.
