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.

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.
