Rocky does offer support, but your comment about Oracle still stands. I believe Rocky works with Red Hat.

Rocky can offer support on helping you install it. But they can't offer real support. They can't fix bugs or do any real work on RHEL beyond requesting that Red Hat accept a fix. If Red Hat declines, Rocky can't even ship their own fix.

Doesn't Rocky offer their own repositories, where if they had an upstream fix that was important enough, they could just include it in their own repositories?

They can't do so while claiming to be bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL.
