More that it is an artifact of how Ubuntu--and I think other
distributions, especially those related to Ubuntu--manage their
package systems to install all the pieces they choose to install. They
create packages--meta-packages--that have no functionality in and of
themselves but come with lots and lots of dependencies, those being
all the pieces they want to draw in. Then they can, at installation
time, essentially list a very short number of meta-packages to
install, and let all those dependencies be sorted out by the package
manager.

So it isn't necessarily really a gnome thing, though that might be how
the distributions bring it together.
