You're bringing up an important point. However: As far as I can tell, Linux can very well be integrated into an Active Directory setup.[0,1] Also: If you want to avoid Active Directory altogether, there seem to be plenty alternatives?[2]

Are there any alternatives to ActiveDirectory in the Linux ecosystem? Maybe from RedHat?

There are no enterprise alternatives to Active Directory. Just like there are no enterprise alternatives to Exchange.

They're simply too well integrated, too easy to manage, and have more features than their competitors.
