Businesses pay to use SUSE, like businesses pay to use RedHat. SUSE is to
openSUSE
as RedHat is to Fedora. Without SUSE, openSUSE IMO would have been dead years
ago.
The switch to SELinux by default was a SUSE decision. Apparmor remains an
openSUSE
option, while whether that is so for SUSE users I have no idea. I agree the
decision to switch after its zillion years otherwise will turn out in hindsight
to
have been bad, likely sooner than later, but not as bad as the brand spanking
new
Agama installer's many remaining limitations, and release well before ready to
displace the predecessor that endeared so many with its competence for so long.
NAICT, openSUSE exists because a wealth of developers find it to their liking,
and
SUSE needs its Fedora.
