Yes, but Red Hat also really sells plain access. They call it
"self-service" or "self-supported". They really are just plainly
selling the software itself as well.
As to why you would want it without support, well, because you get
binaries more quickly than waiting the to trickle down to CentOS, you
can just install them without having to build, and because you trust
Red Hat's quality control more than Ubuntu's, which only supports
about 10% of the software it ships. Red Hat supports everything they
ship.
