Genuine question: how did the IBM acquisitions of Red Hat and HashiCorp turn out?

For Red Hat, there's no longer an official "public" distribution of RHEL, but apart from that they seemingly have been left alone and able to continue to develop their own products. But that's only my POV as a user of OSS Red Hat products at home and of RHEL and OpenShift at work.

One thing that's happened is that OpenShift has an IBM stamp of approval, which means it is now available in more organisations, that would otherwise have clung to more obscure mainframes and worse clown platforms.

From my perspective, as someone who is deeply suspicious of IBM in general, that's a plus.
