Maybe it's just me (please don't rush to agree :-) ), so I'll just ask for other opinions.
IMHO, the emphasis on "Enterprise" is key, along with promotional phrases like "reliable, predictable and reproducible" [1].
And of course the cost to the consumer is very appealing.
But CentOS and the CentOS Project are certainly not a good fit for anyone and/or everyone [2].
The CentOS Project *builds* an enterprise-class OS. It's free for all. And thank goodness it's not a free-for-all...
