Because texlive from distro are not updated like texlive from CTAN
using tlmgr.

Because binaries are not statically linked and if a bug happens in a
library when you update fedora, you cannot work with your TeX
install.....

Something is inconsistent in these dependencies: if you succeed to
install texmaker from a distro without texlive installed from the same
distro, texmaker is able to find your texlive install (ie. /usr/local/
texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux/ instead of /usr/bin), so texmaker does
not depend of the texlive install.
