The most compelling reason I can think of to use a variant of RHEL was 
found on White Box's site:

What is the goal for White Box Linux?

To provide an unencumbered RPM based Linux distribution that retains 
enough compatibility with Red Hat Linux to allow easy upgrades and to 
retain compatibility with their Errata srpms. Being based off of RHEL3 
means that a machine should be able to avoid the upgrade treadmill until 
Oct 2008 since RHEL promises Errata availability for five years from 
date of initial release and RHEL3 shipped in Oct 2003.

Or more briefly, to fill the gap between Fedora and RHEL.
