Arch is a very popular rolling release distro with a great community, which has (I think) really kicked off interest in the (superior, IMO) rolling release paradigm.
But, just like point release distros, people are going to want to try new things, and for some things they want to try, it’ll be easier to start a new project rather than somehow convincing the whole Arch community to try their thing. Arch is pretty conservative and sticks fairly close to upstream.
So, we’ll keep seeing new rolling release distros, and some of them will have good ideas, so they’ll stick around. Which is great, diversity is a sign of a strong ecosystem.
