How does HPE make more money by doing that? Everyone thinks there is a
recession on the way, so they don't want to risk money on development
that could go to executive bonuses. 

In any case, HPE doesn't maintain a Linux of their own that they could
gain competitive advantage with, nor a cloud service business. They're
mostly a hardware vendor now.

I don't think HPE see it that way, and I'm struggling to see how they
could make money. Linux's only real competition now is Windows Server.

Could you explain a bit? HP bought Compaq, in 2002.
