Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.
It may not be home user choice, but in enterprise CAD PLM it is. Out of all the Desktop Distros, only SUSE and RHEL were supported so you had to pick one.
I’m not even talking just home use. I actually work for Red Hat. Granted I work in the public sector so what I see might be skewed, but I rarely ever see anyone use the desktop version.
Yeah, I’m sure there are segments that only use server stuff instead of workstations. I’m on the other end I only deal with desktop, as we have IT for server Stuff
Long-term support and distro-branched tool chains are a boon to the workstation too. And all of lennarts cancer has been in support of dynamic networking changes and wifi devices; no overlap with a server, but they include that shit at every turn. So obviously they’re primarily geared for laptops and servers are a target of opportunity – and their decline in stability over 3-4 distro versions just backs that up.
Exactly, linux mint supremacy
On the server…? Isn’t RHEL used primarily on servers?

Almost exclusively.
There’s desktop RHEL, we used to run a CAD software on RHEL or SUSE
I know there is. It’s just very seldomly used.

What’s funny is even internally we don’t use RHEL desktop. When I first stared our CSB (Corporate Standard Build) was RHEL 7. These days it is Fedora.

If that counts as use of RHEL: All workstations of our institute were running CentOS.
