With Liberty Linux and OpenELA, a key SuSE strategy is supporting customers that are using competing Linux distros.
Moving to more standard tooling like Ansible and Cockpit positions them to support these mixed environments better. It also makes it easier to turn a RHEL customer that adopts Liberty Linux for support into a pure SLE customer later on.
Overall, it seems like a reasonable strategy. I know YaST has fans but it does not seem like many people were ditching other distros for the chance to use it. The engineering resources spent on YaST may be more productively used elsewhere.
