When there is no option which does not include their "support", which I 
can obtain locally at far better prices, and with far, far better 
response times, I consider it overpriced.  It is subjective.

And would Red Hat be "the standard linux distribution" without the 
people who promoted their brand because it was reasonably priced at $79 
per package, and who have now been abandoned?  Probably not...

CentOS will continue, even if RedHat is purchased by Microsoft and 
absorbed by the borg...
