1. The kernel user base is much smaller in size and far more technically minded than the user base for a desktop environment. It is much easier to keep happy
3. None of the companies pouring money or man-hours into the kernel are providing a commercially supported Linux desktop targeted at consumers. I'd guess that a lot of the kernel developers work on things that are of little importance to the FOSS desktop
