On top of the reasons you're giving, note that it's not unknown for the 3rd party vendor to want to be able to punt problems in their dependencies back up to the enterprise Linux vendor. You may simply get an answer of "RHEL ticket opened - we'll push them on a fix, but you need to tell your support contact that you need the fix for #abcdefg ASAP."
