RedHat has not won any systemd war. From all the distributions out there using systemd, RedHat is the one that uses the least amount of systemd features.
They are even going so far as disabling features.
Sometimes they even backport systemd features from more recent versions, disable them but leave man pages in the original state.
Even the /usr split isn't progressing at all.
When tiling window managers don't work for you, that is totally fine, but I wouldn't say that they are broken and awful. They all have different trade offs, the same as all the Desktop Environments.
I tried a couple tiling window managers many years ago and none was usable in the way I thought how it should work. But instead of investing time to make it work the way I want it, I just switched to the next one and tried that. I think at that time I tried 5 or 6 window managers a day.
The one that worked for me at the end was one written by Sean Pringle called Musca. It used relative movement from each window and it made so much more sense than all others. Sadly he dropped it a bit later for another project but herbstluftwm is its successor and it worked for me.
My config hasn't actually changed for the last 10 years.
There are so many great tools out there we can use for what we want to do. Choose the one you like and works for you.
Thats why peoples desks or their work places all look differently. A smith woulnd't talk to a smelter about his setup being awful, because he does a different job.

Meanwhile Fedora has implemented all these changes, which according to https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-is-centos-stream, should be the upstream for CentOS.
I would say RedHat dropped the ball on systemd and has no intention of supporting any of the new features in any of their systems.
