That applies to IBM/RHEL too. They aren't paying for every bit of
software that is packaged in the distribution.

So they can't use that argument against others.

Also people who are currently not paying are not going to suddenly start
paying for RHEL subscriptions. 

A non-paying CentOS user is not a real loss for RHEL. But people dumping
CentOS for a non-RHEL clone is definitely going to impact their future
revenues as they are losing mindshare/goodwill/easy migration etc.
