They slowly got the majority in the CentOS steering committee thus gaining all the power they needed to kill it. And then they did. There was no "you can still be CentOS but without our funding".

It didn't happen slowly, it happened quickly. In 2014, when they effectively rescued the CentOS project by investing at a time when it had been slowly dying for a couple of years.
