Most of the threads here - where people describe the corporately driven business wants/desires - seem to recognize though that this is killing the holden goose.

Enterprises want RHEL because the staff know & use RHEL and the enterprise can get a support package for RHEL. If Red Hat no longer is in the public eye, if it's only a paid for Linux, the demand is going to dry up, vanish.

There's only one way to retain mindshare & market share & that's to keep RHEL in front of people. This current course of action almost guarantees that RHEL fades into irrelevance.
