This is a fair point, but I don’t think Linux would be nearly as adopted in the business world without that branding. It’d be some fringe hobbyist thing and BSD would probably have become the server operating system of choice.
“Enterprise” linux just feels like something RH invented for their own brand.
You can get LTS releases of a bunch of distros already, and some even offer similar levels of enterprise support (SUSE comes to mind).
I’ve seen orgs run their own distro/spin or something like Zorin or Ubuntu if they don’t want RHEL.
