#2Love this. After Red Hat acquired Ansible I thought for sure they would cave on their open source principles, but they didn't. They really believe in open source, and we are all the better as a world for it.
Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but have been a fan decades longer than I've worked there.

Edit: I called it Kway myself and googled it after getting puzzled looks from my UK peers. The referenced article says "key" is the older pronunciation but either is acceptable.

They believe in making money.
The issue is that OSS is the only way to compete with the cloud. Quay would die without 3rd party contributions vs Amazon, Google, Microsoft.

The "most correct" pronunciation of Quay is "key", as that link says, but the CoreOS team always pronounced it "kway".
(I assume this has carried through to Red Hat.)

I have found it significantly easier to use, myself. Every time I try to use Docker Hub I get very frustrated very quickly and start trying out the competitors again.

Yes, any for-profit company has to believe in making money. However I think they could make a lot more by being stingy with their code. Ansible for example had a lot of paying customers that no longer had to shell out after it went open source. I (and many people/companies I know) would likely pay for RHEL if CentOS weren't a thing. There's plenty of opportunities for a cash grab if that were Red Hat's thing.

Kway makes more intuitive sense to me; it's like the word quail.

I asked Brandon Phillips (Then CoreOS CTO) on a call how they said it. He was quite frank it was pronounced "kway" and not "key", much to the chagrin of our Aussie coworker who still calls it "key". I've called it "kway" since.
