I'd guess it was actually the assumption that GNOME couldn't possibly get a system daemon right. Nobody wants to repeat the situation we had when every desktop environment had its own sound daemon that interfered with sound from programs that didn't use it. Of course, that's not actually the case, but having a generic component come from a desktop environment project gives people the wrong impression.
