Actually, this is not true either. Since December 2020, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux has added a number of avenues in which you can freely
get it:

1. Individuals (16 entitlements, prod use permitted):
https://developers.redhat.com/articles/faqs-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux

2. Teams (mucho entitlements for companies, no prod):
https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/05/10/access-rhel-developer-teams-subscription

3. OSS projects running their own infra (mucho entitlements, prod use
permitted): https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/extending-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux-open-source-organizations

Is it everything that people need? No. Could they do more here?
Absolutely. But their willingness to even do this should be applauded.

I will also point out that CentOS Stream is perfectly suitable for
production use, and I would argue it provides a differentiated
experience in its own right: because CentOS Stream does not go through
certification work that locks on specific package versions, any and
all fixes done by Red Hat or community members are released
immediately after running through the gates and passing the tests at
the gates. That shortens the average TTL for non-critical/non-security
improvements from 6 months to a couple of weeks.

Offhand, I know CentOS Stream 9 is available as an option in the
following VPS providers:

* DigitalOcean
* Linode
* Vultr
* Hetzner
* Afterburst

There are a lot of providers out there, and it's quite likely that
even more ones that offer it. These are just the ones I've used or are
aware of.
