Compared to RHEL alternatives like Alma/Rocky: possibly faster access to patches, support, insights (cloud based analytics and analysis of your workloads/security).

Compared to other Linux distros: some COTS software requires RHEL, risk adverse orgs probably need to layer RHEL support with their COTS support contracts to meet SLAs/support requirements.

Alma/Rocky are downstream of RHEL. By definition they will never have faster access to patches because they pull them from RHEL.
