Is Fedora that bad? I used it briefly but I didn’t find anything wrong with it.
Fedora isn't, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is.
The paid Linux for companies that want a support contract.
Open source upstream is much newer, and doesn't have the bloat that Red Hat adds to Enterprise products.
This goes for:
Fedora -> Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Kubernetes -> OpenShift
Ansible -> Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
And probably others I don't know.
Point is, no one is buying the whole Red Hat Enterprise suite because they personally like Fedora.
They're buying it because someone somewhere in the org is (rightfully or not) too afraid to run open source software without being able to call in support from a company that knows how it works very well.
