Prove me wrong.

The set-based concurrency facilitated by the forking of open source projects is actually why open source tech, eg Linux/Git or Docker/K8s could advance as fast as it did ... there ARE obvious, simplistic reasons not to fork/confuse the people in a dev community BUT the competition of [rampant/easy] forking drives the development of what often are better ideas -- it's important to understand why forks TEACH even when they don't produce something better.

Concurrency ... not necessarily the heroic efforts of someone's personal dev Jesus ... is why open source advances AND BUILDS COMPENCY IN VAST COMMUNITIES of aspiring noobs ... this happens, in spite of the fact that open source basically had comparatively-speaking next-to-zero in budget when compared to EITHER any comparable technology of a proprietary nature OR any group of community colleges or academic institutions of higher learning that staffed with expensive instructors AN were also given discounts on Apple/Microsoft/Oracle proprietary software.
