GNOME already has its own, well integrated terminal application 
installed by default! Is this so hard to understand?

And guess what, it keeps itself out of the menus of other desktop 
environments which ship their own respective terminal application, too:

$ grep ShowIn /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
