Idk, on the one hand I could see the argument against organizations dodging the Red Hat fees by choosing free downstream, but then again, like, everything that RHEL does was always available? The reason you’d pay is for the support you’d get from them?
To be honest I never really understood why you’d specifically want something like CentOS over say, Debian - I mean, outside of I guess, .rpm packaging?
I’ve often seen set ups where Prod is RedHat because support, and Test and Dev environments are CentOS to avoid the fees on less important environments.

Or prod is centos and licensed rhel is “we might need support so replicate it on rhel”
