when later devs have more work with forking it than with independent releases.

If that were true, then how do Brave and Librewolf even exist? Clearly it was less work to strip the garbage than to start from scratch.

Librewolf is Gecko and Brave has a big team and a lot of money, sponsored by Facebook and some crypto companies., even so the Brave chromium version is behind of the current from Chrome. There is an blogpost from one of the Vivaldi devs, explaining the work to make and maintain a Chromium fork
