Why should Red Hat make any exceptions to the rules for me personally?
In their place, I would establish the same rules of the game for all
users, so I am not even going to ask them to make an exception
to the rules for me personally.

Do you remember the article 
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/new-year-new-red-hat-enterprise-linux-programs-easier-ways-access-rhel?

Quote from there: "We're working on a variety of additional programs for
other use cases, and plan to provide another update in mid-February."

Perhaps Brian Exelbierd will be able to answer our questions on this
list, if any, after additional programs from the Red Hat are announced.
