To my understanding it is a GNOME app, but it isn't a core GNOME app. Meaning it isn't something that would be shipped in a "GNOME" package group.

Yes, it's a GNOME app in the sense that it was intended to be used with GNOME. In the same way, Netscape 6 is a Windows app.

I don't think it's fair to judge GNOME's quality based on 1 app that targets the platform.

Historically it was a GNOME app, but it isn't any more. All apps that are currently part of GNOME are listed at https://apps.gnome.org; File Roller isn't there.
