As soon as you use something like SAP or Oracle the number of offically _supported_ distributions quickly decreases. As example SAP HANA: RHEL and SLES or for example Oracle Database: RHEL, OEL (based on RHEL AFAIK) and again SLES.

So it is not only a question if it would theoretically/technically fail on another platform.

I don’t imagine SAP certification would extend to a community-supported fork of RHEL even if it was a 1:1 clone.

Many businesses will use the Forks for their dev environment.

Which is silly because Red Hat will literally give you free RHEL for non-prod if you pay for RHEL in prod.
