> no longer an official "public" distribution of RHEL

What do you mean by that, like "centos/stream" (aka https://www.centos.org/download/ ) ?

CentOS Stream employs a rolling-release model, which is much less stable than RHEL.

The previous main selling point of CentOS was bug-for-bug compatibility with RHEL. Red Hat is just killing the distro by moving their focus to a non-existent market. Enthusiasts will choose RHEL, while enterprises would choose the more stable RHEL, which Red Hat could earn money from, or alternatives like Alma or Rocky.
