Well the Fedora maintainers are the upstream maintainers too, so no
point in diverging from fontconfig upstream. If you can get a change
upstream, you can get it into all distros too.

Yeah, makes sense. I don't plan to work on this, but I'm happy to add
non-texlive font packages to the default install on request, if those
packages exist in Fedora and don't require changes in fontconfig
configuration.
