There are so many quality alternatives now that this decision will only lower their market share. They are trying hard to be the new Microsoft.

This.

I work in the web-hosting industry, and there are a handful of common and popular proprietary software used that used to require CentOS / RHEL as the base OS. Then most of them now support AlmaLinux, which I've got on a handful of servers as a requirement. Haven't really used Rocky Linux, but have used AlmaLinux a lot now, and I run CloudLinuxOS which is/was RHEL based but it's a commercial Linux OS geared towards this industry.

Anyway, FINALLY some of these companies are producing statements that they're releasing Debian/Ubuntu betas or have it on their roadmap for making their software work on these OSes. Which is great.
