OK, that was a bit flippant.
I should have been more careful and said something like
  "Red Hat, like Microsoft, is focusing more on more on its server customers".

When I first installed Red Hat in 1995 it was aimed at individuals
running it on desktop PCs - there weren't many servers (though some).
When I last looked at a major upgrade for my home desktop machine
the RHEL8 marketing pages were all about clouds and containers and very 
little about the desktop.
Now I get emails from Red Hat every week, or more often, about Kubernetes,
containers and how to write micro-services for clouds.

About five years ago the team I was in migrated several hundred desktop
users from SL6 to Ubuntu. I cannot see that we would switch these users 
back to RHEL8 or CentOS8 now.

Those thoughts were behind my somewhat inaccurate statement.
