My unstanding is that the Windows core team made this change as another step in their commitment to the Year of the Linux Desktop.
The moveable taskbar, specifically, eases the transition from Windows, since most Linux DE have had moveable taskbars forever.
I would tag this as sarcasm, but I'm not honestly 100% sure it's not partly true.
