CentOS had no "brand value" when it was new.

Red Hat was not nice to CentOS when it was new.

When CentOS came about, Debian and Ubuntu were not serious competitors. Neither were Arch or openSUSE. There was no Amazon Linux either.

Now, mature and much more popular alternatives have well established brand value.
