Direct answer: Red Hat is out of the downstream building business. None of our other products have a downstream build sponsored by Red Hat, RHEL won't either. The cost was only one of many considerations here.
That's the 'Extinguish' bit. Comes after 'Embrace' and 'Extend'.
Uhhh, there is no Extinguish in Open Source. That's the entire point. We embraced, we extended. If others want to carry on the torch they are more than welcome to do so.
