I suspect that from the RedHat perspective, it's a useful branding split. The actual product is more or less identical, but it's clearer to distinguish "free CentOS vs commercial RedHat" than it is to distinguish "RedHat with or without a support contract".
At the same time, having the same runtime available, ensures the code is run under the same conditions from dev to QA to production, which is always good for quality. So yes, unlike other companies that make operating systems, RH can let us have the cake and eat it at the same time

That's not how it works. The license conditions that apply to Linux don't allow this. Either they distribute ZFS under compatible license and everyone can distribute it too, or they don't do it at all.
