I may be cynical, but I think this is a business decision.
By gaining control of CentOS, RedHat gained control of its biggest
(apparent) competitor. This action should increase the value of
RedHat. A few years later, IBM buys RedHat for a staggering 34 BILLION
dollars. I would expect that before the purchase, there is an internal
"PowerPoint" slide discussing the elimination of CentOS Linux. Despite
the commentary otherwise, I believe CentOS Stream is a type of "beta"
release. RedHat can release changes into CentOS Stream to make sure it
is all good before the point release of RHEL to the paying customers.
Or maybe not.

Indeed.
Often, when you can't find a reasonable answer to a question, it is
because the premise of the question itself is wrong.
