๐ Fixing CentOS Stream to RHEL Point Releases?

I was thinking about the whole CentOS abandonment in favour of CentOS Stream quite a bit lately for obvious reasons, and I have a question: what prevents someone from creating a CentOS Stream mirror which tracks RHEL point releases?
The idea is this: assume we're on RHEL 8.3; that would mean CentOS is 'rolling' to what will end up in 8.4. Could you not pull all the upgrades to packages and store them until RHEL 8.4 comes out and then 'fix' all the packages from the 'stream' updates to correspond to RHEL 8.4, and then update the mirror accordingly?
It's not a 'new' distribution, you're still running CentOS Stream, so no need for a rebuild from source, and no stepping over trademarks. The whole thing sounds like it could be mostly automated too. It would be a lot easier to do than creating a distro from RHEL provided sources, no? There would still be an issue that Stream is only 5 years support instead of 10, but that's the only significant issue I see.
Am I out to lunch here, are there are any obvious technical or legal problems that make this impossible?
