To me it sounds like the pricing model is not optimal. I guess in these situations, they could pay RH "a bit more" in exchange for a legal RHEL license covering those extra nodes. But if there was no such offer then it sounds like a lost opportunity.

(but I'm a complete outsider, I just share my views and I do acknowledge I may be missing something, so feel free to elaborate further)

I think you are right - the problem is that "a bit more" really ought to be a small uplift on the needed licenses, rather than the current inadequate discount on compute nodes (along with hoop-jumping to convince sales people you aren't trying to scam them).
