RedHat spends a lot of time back-porting security updates to older software (e.g. RHEL7). Stream is always only the latest RHEL version, I believe.

The whole point of RHEL is the long term support (the back-porting), which is what they're going to stop publishing.

CentOS 7 is supported and will be EOL at the same time as RHEL 7.

Stream does have major versions so you can continue to use CentOS Stream 8 and get backports. You only lose anything if you're tied to some minor version of EL for some reason.
