There is no CentOS "family". CentOS clone is dead and will be now
replaced with no-cost RHEL, so in market share (over time) CentOS will
be replaced with RHEL.
CentOS Stream will be used solely by developers and and entities like
Facebook (as a base for their own in house solution).
With 16-system no-cost production license package there might be drop in
RHEL clone demand, and some Oracle users might decide to move to RHEL
(but this is total unknown depending on perception of Red Hat and Oracle
in peoples minds).
