Is this another GNOME helpful "improvement" like no text field for typing (or pasting) a path in the file selection dialog?
Has been that way from FC5 onwards. The dialog box still exists. Alt+F2.
That's intuitive, not. Rather, it's functionality obfuscation. Even Windows shows a "Run" option on the program menu. If grandparents running Windows can handle it, why not Gnome users? Is there some rationale? I imagine this is some upstream decision.

Gnome's setting overall is superior to M$. If "Run" hasn't been there, there is a reason for example maybe the majority of people do not use it.
