People used CentOS to get a perfectly stable OS for free. Beta testing releases for RH runs contrary to that usecase.

Practically how is that damaging your use case by using CentOS stream? Do you see many things being unstable?
It doesn't refer CentOS as a beta release of RH.

I don't know what the actual rate of bugs ended up being; I burned CentOS from my infrastructure when the news dropped.

Yes, RH is quite attached to their lie that the thing that gets changes before the next stable version of their commercial product isn't a beta. It's unclear to me whether they somehow actually believe this (and if so, why they're giving free users a supposedly better product than paying customers), or if not why they expect anyone else to believe them, but that is indeed their official claim.
