I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

Aren’t there poison pill clauses in a lot of OSS licenses that prevent moves like this? Could they face legal repercussions?
Technically none of the open source licenses require you to publish the source to everyone. They just require you to publish the source to the same people who get binaries from you.
But they are free to redistribute it again if I understand it correctly
I don’t think it’s clear cut that you can punitively change relationships because someone exercised their legal right to redistribute the code.
It definitely is clear cut that no contract that’s a prerequisite to receiving the code can restrict what you do with it in any way.
