I have heard this used as a reason but it doesn't appear to be true. 
You can talk to the CentOS or Scientific Linux developers.  This isn't a
major part of their work.  Trademarks and typically just part of
redhat-logos and a few other packages and Red Hat has gone out of their
way over time to make this process easier.  Much of their work is
rebuilding SRPMS  (figuring out what specific version dependencies need
to be in the chroot) and testing it.  They don't replace or remove files
except for maybe a dozen packages.
