RHEL is losing market share to AWS, Azure, GCP and other cloud providers.
The only organizations that are willing to pay for RHEL are the ones that are stuck with software that can't run on other linux distributions or in a containers.
If your software can run in a container then a distro that run on the bare metal isn't that important.

RHEL having official/blessed security hardening and FIPS certification tends to work against organizations requiring such from switching to distros that lack same.
