This specific page is from their basic learning topics, another page is “What is the Linux kernel?” but it wouldn’t look as funny. The page title makes sense in context, and they do not say Red Hat is the best for everyone or every use case, although there is an obvious bias for enterprise. They also include a list of other distributions people might consider, including commercial competitors.
Not to be overly cynical, but including competitors can make sense from an SEO perspective, because it means people may find your site while searching for a competing distro.

Looks like DDG appends “ - Red Hat” to search results under technology topics on RH’s website. Never noticed that, funny.
"Suggestion #3 will shock you!"
Even RedHat is doing the clickbait thing now. Pitiful.
