Well, it's mostly emotional (the leitmotif: "how can you say CentOS 
Stream is bad if you didn't try it?"). And the author's bio spoils the 
fun, as well:

"Ben Porter is a Linux and open source advocate, currently working as an 
OpenShift consultant for Red Hat."

And the comments to the graphs, where RHEL, CentOS and Fedora are placed 
on a line, are simply ridiculous (such as "did you use to consider RHEL 
to be the CentOS beta?"). With all due respect to Ben Porter, it didn't 
convince me.
