OpenTofu may be showing us the wrong way to fork

I think comparing number of contributors is not the point here. I would not be surprised if Hashicorp can put more people on their proprietary heavily modified version, and it will be more advanced. Yet the Open Source version can be good enough, and prefered for 95% of folks out there

My question is, how do Env0, Spacelift, and other Terraform automation and collaboration tool vendors make money if they make OpenTofu so good that it's preferred for 95% of folks out there? Do they fight over the support money scraps?

Git being better does not make GitHub bankrupt. They operate on different layers.

Env0, Spacelift, and (my company) Terrateam compete with Terraform Cloud not Terraform. Terraform and OpenTofu are CLIs that turn HCL code into living infrastructure. The business model of these offerings, including TFC, is to provide the layer most organizations need above that, such as collaboration, interfacing with VCS, etc.
