That's how it used to be, back when RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and
CentOS were equal peers on the Software Development Lifecycle River.
The "upstream" distro was Fedora, all the newest, most bleeding edge stuff.
You could get and install CentOS and be (virtually) Bug-For-Bug compatible
with RHEL Proper. All was right in the world, but this wasn't making a cent
for RedHat. Why buy the cow, when I can get the milk for free?!
Then RedHat "killed" CentOS by moving it "Upstream" next to Fedora. No
Enterprise company would ever run that in production, EVER ... and that was
the point.
Most large enterprises migrated their production CentOS over to RHEL proper
and started paying several hundred thousand a year for that privilege.
Speaking from first hand experience, the Arizona power company APS -- we
pay just under a MILLION dollars a year for JUST the Ansible Automation
Platform (AAP) ... That's not counting all the actual RedHat VMs we use, or
RedHat Satellite. We're probably into RedHat for 3-5 million, all in, every
year.
But back to David's point. Ubuntu Server does have market share, albeit
drastically smaller, but does exist.
