I don't think that's surprising, and I don't think that's going to change no matter what happens with Red Hat and IBM. From what I've seen in my time people tend to develop on their desktops and those tend to run Ubuntu (either natively or in a VM), not CentOS/RHEL. This is why tools like EasyBuild, Spack and containers, are important, we need to be able to cater for these wide ranging dependencies.
