For me, I think its just the giant technical hurdle of maintaining a huge code base that stacks the odds against any forks. Not impossible, just going to be a lot of effort for a long time.

May I ask what makes you think this questionable fork will not be successful?
The developer behind it is the most prolific contributer to Xorg, at least
Lunduke told me (1). I personally like OpenBSD, because it is one of the few
OSes (and some GNU/Linux distros) that lets you contribute regardless of your
political beliefs.
