All I heard in that segment was Red Hat stopped taking extra steps to debrand and push packages from RHEL, and now clones will have to build their software from CentOS Stream. I did not hear anything about additional actions that Red Hat will take or plans to take. Did I miss something?

The users in question don't want a clone of CentOS Stream, though, they want a replacement for classic CentOS.

Just like users who're choose to run Debian Stable want Debian Stable, not the somewhat stabilised rebuild of a snapshot of Debian Testing that underlies Ubuntu.

(I'm not endorsing any specific set of preferences here and my own are sufficiently complicated they don't really fit in a comment about what sets of preferences -do- exist)
