It does sometimes seem that RH aspires to be like MS. Heck, MS, aspires to be MS - they are totally in over their heads, and are clearly unable to manage the complexity of their various enterprises. Just layer upon layer of nasty cruft. Some bugs in Windows are over a decade old - I know, I've reported them and they're still not fixed.
My first experiences with MS was when their sole product was MSBASIC (which they 'basically' stole). Bill Gates was a money-grubbing scumbag from the very beginning. And MS faked compentence from the very beginning. Some things never change.

Ransomware, drug deals, money laundering, etc.

Why do people put up with this crap? All of these predatory shits are enabled by people wanting the shiny. You don't need it.
... why is Amazon allowed to exist?
At least I don't have cataracts!
Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
