Besides you can look at other examples ubuntu based on debian, elementary os based on ubuntu. Both made Linux more popular than ever. Many people dumped windows to try the new exciting os, elementary os. You don't have to look at the dark side. The bright side is more beautiful

Excessive forking was what killed infiniminer (heard of that?) and allowed closed source minecraft (insired by infiniminer) with its laser focus to become one of the most successful games of all time. Not saying open source isn't sometimes a good thing but you can't just throw it at anything and expect good results
