If you mean Red-Hat in regards to GNOME, they have long moved away from Desktop Linux for consumers, as there is no money to be made there.

The Slashdot posts on the matter from those days are quite easy to find.

GNOME like CDE in his day, is good enough for corporate users to connect into Linux servers.

GNOME today is also not the same as GNOME 20 years ago, it got rebooted multiple times with incompatible code, glade was dropped and now people are expected to write their GUIs in code or manual XML code (yes I am aware of the Web based ongoing replacement, what a broken idea for a native desktop), and plenty of other issues that make GNOME in 2023 even less atractive than 20 years ago.
