For me, it's about having a stable platform for something; not all (or even most) components in a software system benefit at all from following the latest releases, and what "stable" distributions give me is the ability to keep those components up-to-date security-wise very easily and without having to worry that everything could explode due to major changes when I run "dnf update" (breakage does happens, but it's rare). I can have hundreds of hosts auto-patching themselves and still sleep soundly.

Something also needs to run your Kubernetes, and that can't always be AWS.
