Because Gnome defaulted to Wayland for a long time, before they now plan to ditch it’s X11 session, while Plasma just recently started defaulting to Wayland. I think Fedora 38 is when they defaulted to wayland in the Plasma edition. Gnome had a way longer lead time, IIRC.
No, it is not the same thing. From the Pagure issue:
From my recollection the WG earlier discussed about the removal of gnome-session-xsession,
but we decided not to do that (wisely) until upstream drops it
It’s not like KDE, and when someone updates to F40, it won’t even remove Xorg. It just won’t be installed by anaconda by default in new installs.
Your quote describes literally the exact same thing that Fedora KDE 40 does. Yes, they wanted to go further and remove the Xorg bits already, but that got rolled back.
Why would it be odd? This post is about the exact same thing happening with Gnome
