is it true ? if XFCE decides to do things I don't like I may not be able to manage a fork

XFCE is a integrated desktop. You are choosing the desktop and what comes with it, including how the developers decide to change it. If you want control start with a window manager or a window manager like compositor for wayland and build your desktop from there. There are non-desktop versions of pretty much everything you need (notification daemons, keybinding, etc.).
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ is an example of the community maintaining a continuation of KDE 3.

It only depends on motivation and time dedication. Anyone can be a developer.
Also if you go past the 3 main desktops there are many many window managers, standalone launchers, panels from which you can pick up the pieces you want to build something you like.
