Because Canonical decided that they need a lot of downstream patches and modifications to the shell and modifications to standard gnome userland apps. If they would ship upstream like fedora, they would not have this issue.

That's the point. Canonical is pretty much the primary consumer of the Gnome project. They should have a word in all these being bult-in by default. And not even now, but already in pre-alpha stages. Is Gnome open source or just readable source like those showcase MS projects?
And that, well, it doesn't happen much (hence Unity at the time).

We are talking about Fedora, bleeding edge distribution. If Fedora 33 was able to get GNOME 3.38 released month before then I why it would be problem for Fedora 34 to pickup GNOME 40? Why apps wouldn't be ready? If you are talking about GTK4 then it doesn't change situation. GTK4 is already available on Fedora 33 and GTK3 applications will still work fine and eventually will be ported to GTK4 in future.

Yeah, Fedora is not alpha quality distro but it's definitely a distro with new packages every release. GNOME 3.38 was released month before Fedora 33 and was still included. GNOME 40 release date is again somewhere around month before planned Fedora 34 release. Unless GNOME 40 will get some delay (not very often situation) then it should be included. Fedora freezes pretty late in development. I think Rawhide already includes some bits of GNOME 40. Ubuntu is different story - they have their extensions and they wanted more time to make sure everything works with GNOME 40 which will be pretty different compared to 3.38. Fedora uses vanilla GNOME so broken extensions won't be any problem for developers.

Also it's not like there is any force to upgrade Fedora right after new release. There are two maintained version - current (now 33) and previous (now 32). If your extensions are broken with new GNOME version then you can simply wait for them to pickup support for new version and then upgrade. It's not only Fedora problem, it's problem of all distributions that uses vanilla GNOME. Ubuntu is different story because they don't use vanilla.
