It really depends, but some tools would really do that. DaVinci Resolve, for example, has a pretty bad Linux distribution support and format, all things considered, and it's still the go-to video editor for Linux users, despite all of the issues.

Your loss, it's a great distribution and if you spent even a couple of minutes in our forums you'd see that the RedHat pull is due to them actually collaborating and being and active part in the community.
You pretty much described Fedora. Non-LTS stable 6-month release cycle with 1 year of support for each release.
If you want it to stop being a standard, help your distro do a better job at marketing. Ubuntu is one of the few that do some actual market research and dedicate resources to getting the OS into the hands of people by getting them interested in it. It's one of the things we are looking forwards to doing better in Fedora.
Why bad news? It means that there's an universal package with official support for every distro instead of them just supporting Debian/Ubuntu and everything else being just... kinda there and unnoficial.
I'm really suspicious of those numbers, seeing the sudden drop in macOS and Chrome OS, but I'm hoping so much that those are accurate. Things are slowly but surely getting better.
