Because it is fully comercialised? There isn't even a free personal version of rhel.
The source is open but so were many of the one commercial unixes. In fact some customers in the early days of Unix used to change their codebase a lot.
I don't think commercial and open source are mutually exclusive. Not the OP though so perhaps they meant something else.
Personally I don't think open source would have to be free as in beer but I don't like it when big tech takes too big a role in it. Eventually it'll just become another cash cow.
