BTW, Les said nobody developed extra things for RHEL, which is not true.
Just look a Dag and Dries rpms repository. Those are "newer desktop apps

If it wasn't clear, what I meant was that no one takes the complete existing
RHEL work and adds things to improve it, redistributing the entire bundle.
That may not match anyone else's definition of 'open', but it is what affects
the products you'll be able to use in the future.
Sure they do. CentOS does, in fact. Look at CentOS Extras, CentOS Plus,
CentOS Cluster Suite/Global File System. Look at Scientific Linux
customizations https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/customize.
