I saw RedHat with RHEL8 cut off hardware that first release was just 7 years earlier(2012) than RHEL8's release(2019) (so some of the hardware was only 4-5 years old).
I always suspected it was the OEM (the board was a version of raid card only used in their hw and in that age of hardware) that was becoming annoyed that their customers did not upgrade their hardware fast enough. Enterprise hardware support is controlled by the enterprise HW makers to some extent, and becomes less "enterprise" if you aren't running on officially "certified" hardware. RHEL has basically always been doing doing exactly what Windows 11 is doing now, causing hardware that is still fast enough and/or has enough ram to become unusable.
