Fashion, and Oracle's past practices. I evaluated
Alma Linux
Fedora
Mint
Open SuSE
Oracle Linux
Springdale Linux
and settled on Alma. Rocky was still vapourware when Alma was stable.
I've seen how Oracle promise no change in the long term, then change
their charging model in the past. We got badly burned at work when they
took over DEC RDB.
I like Alma's independence built on Cloud's experience over many years
building RHEL clones.
Just my 2d worth.
