Because, it's part of freedesktop standard.

http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
=======================================
In order to have a place for third party applications to install their  
icons there should always exist a theme called "hicolor" [1]. The data for  
the hicolor theme is availible for download at:  
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/icon-theme/. Implementations are  
required to look in the "hicolor" theme if an icon was not found in the  
current theme.
=======================================

Don't know, KDE is the one that need to change. I don't want to hack in  
GNOME to break the standard for KDE's sake.

The fall back is to hicolor.
