That's all probably very intentional. GNOME always was the configure-as-little-as-possible camp, they did go very strict on having as few as possible configuration options back when GNOME 2 was new, then softened gradually up over a long time, and now tightened that strictly again with GNOME 3.
It's hard to find configurations that fit as many people as possible, and while KDE tends to go on the side of having a jungle of options, GNOME tends to go on having as few as in any way possible. Both ways have their pros and cons, you just need to be aware what side your system is on before criticizing it for its decisions. ;-)
