Debian, Ubuntu, and several other distros have ARM builds. It's not a matter of saying, "Oh, you can compile it yourself." It's just a matter of saying, "Use one of these extremely popular distributions."
Fedora is available for ARM, which means RHEL and CentOS almost certainly aren't far behind. There's also a port of RHEL to ARM called Red Sleeve, which means most of the hard work of a port has already been done. Given that the potential cost savings are pretty big in a large data center, I suspect we'll start seeing deployments pretty soon, and the pressure on Red Hat to provide ARM will grow.
I'm not really arguing with you, per se. There are plenty of people who won't make the jump until Red Hat does. But, there are plenty of people who take their cues from other providers.
