Fedora is much, much further upstream than CentOS Stream is.
Stream is essentially a complete snapshot of a future RHEL release, as in, a future RHEL will likely be identical to a former Stream, including minor releases. In contrast, Fedora is essentially a different distribution that also happens to be a distant base for RHEL; a Fedora version is snapshotted and heavily modified to become a major release, that major release is modified in place.
If the distros were wooden furniture, RHEL would be a finished desk, Stream would be the unpainted and unsanded desk, and Fedora would be the tree.

Yup, and to take it one step further. RHEL is actually a fork of Fedora. CentOS Stream *is* Red Hat actively developing that fork. Its just that we produce builds and deliver them in almost real-time while we do it.
