Discourse developers may as well decide that on their own, without any kind of relation to GNOME design decisions. In my opinion it's more likely to be a decision based on (perceived) benefits vs. costs (complexity, security, etc.). As this is FLOSS one can always chose to contribute, fork or re-implement.
