Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I doubt big business will switch. Most customers of RHEL don't care if the general public has easy access to the source code. (I am assuming)
I think what we might see is small business using CentOS, Rocky, Alma etc, switch to Debian. Since they didn't have commercial support, Debian will be the same. Since they will no longer be clones of RHEL there is little incentive to use them
