What are you replacing?

FWIW IMNHO "use the same thing for everything" is a technical reason ...

Nothing like logging in to a server running some old legacy app and realizing it's running some bespoke version of ancient Oracle Linux (or Gentoo or whatever you happen to be unfamiliar with, but some previous hire thought was the bomb) - and try to untangle what issues stem from the distro, and which belong to the application...

While true, I suppose conformity as a justification could apply to any distro choice. It doesn't justify OpenSUSE specifically in itself.

See a cousin comment from me with a bit more detail... I've probably already said too much.
