It sounds like you're expecting a different experience than the developers are targeting. Things like "icons on the desktop" aren't really how GNOME 3, the default desktop in RHEL and Fedora, is meant to be used. You might be happier using a different desktop environment.

What other desktop environment can you use in RHEL without adding third-party repos (which a lot of companies don't allow)?

If you don't like and embrace GNOME 3, then Red Hat just isn't the distro for you.

Who actually chooses to use RHEL on a desktop, rather than only using it because work doesn't allow any other distro?

I’m expecting basic features to work. I don’t mind having to switch those features on through a configuration option but I do mind when those included features don’t actually work and the response when reported by a paying customer is that they aren’t going to fix it.
