Most people running RHEL and RH-based distros tend to want to stay behind the curve as much as possible for many (typically legitimate) reasons. When a rash of OpenSSL vulnerabilities showed up, some older distributions were not affected because the packages they were on were so old they hadn't picked up some of the code that had been patched in for over a couple years that was flawed. But users and developers on these systems do want to have a chance to run some modern stuff like containers as well because there's a strong chance that they'll have to support their software for 10+ years potentially. On one system I worked on I saw that the architecture called for support for the same exact distribution for over 10 years - these are the kinds of places that will be paying Microsoft extra to support XP n years after it's gone EOL.
