I mean, it's not like people are forking gcc daily. Not all open source is valuable because of the forks.

People committing to gcc probably have workflows that predate github. I think there are many "forks" that are just done as fixes on a local machine then sent directly as a patch.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about forks the github term, I was referring to forking the project. It's useful to have open source available just for maintenance.
