That's not what is happening on those patches, Leslie. The RH engineers
are adding the patches to the package which is basically how backporting
works (as in all distros that do it), and then adding themselves as the
maintainers that added the patches. Well documented as it should. They
did not modify the patches themselves to appears as coming from them or
RedHat employees.
Going forward, you will see those patches contributions going into
Centos stream first, and they will be accepted by RH engineers, and then
they will end up in CentOS Stream distro first, and finally in RHEL.
That's how normally distros operate when they do backporting.

Ask yourself; how does open source methodology works?
Just using your words: Apple Inc. releases a bug fix, RedHat takes it,
insert it into the rebranded copy (RHEL) they are selling ...
