Redhat contributes back to upstream in a lot of cases. I don't know if Rocky and co do or not but Redhat definitely does.

I'm not denying that important point.

But imagine being a contributor to a package which redhat incorporates and using it via centos/rocky.

RedHat actually helps Rocky and co by basing RHEL on Centos Stream. Rocky and co can now file bugs on Centos Stream and have it fixed faster for their distribution. Before they could not do that. They had to report further upstream and had to wait until that landed in RHEL. Also RedHat is helped by these fixes. Only winners here.
