This may also come down to hardware support generally; we ran into an issue upgrading an OS from CentOS 7 to Rocky 9; where RH had dropped support for our hardware during the RHEL 8 releases.

Debian, on the other hand, still had drivers available.

Yeah, it was some BIOS bug or hardware error that halted Debs, but RPM based would show that it worked around the issue and continued. As a Debian branch whatever was missing in main was probably missing throughout all the derivatives.
