Red Hat isn't funding multiple desktops. It is focusing on one. It just so happens that Fedora (which has a lot more folks involved) has volunteers interested in working on others and they handle the other desktop environments. For the large part, what gets downloaded and used is Fedora workstation.

Processing power, storage and bandwidth are not free. Not at all. Neither are employees (one full-time employee per hundred volunteers?).

And, even if all of the above were free, my point is that other desktop environments add negative value.
