Well on minimized installations (read without lsb) up to recently, there
was no ID facts - https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/2280

So folks sticked to what was available:

# facter os
{
  architecture => "x86_64",
  family => "RedHat",
  hardware => "x86_64",
  name => "CentOS",
  release => {
    full => "8",
    major => "8"
  },
  selinux => {
    config_mode => "enforcing",
    config_policy => "targeted",
    current_mode => "enforcing",
    enabled => true,
    enforced => true,
    policy_version => "33"
  }
}
