There are various ongoing forks, GrapheneOS, /e/-OS, LineageOS and all the ones the OEMs maintain to support proprietary drivers for their hardware in their versions, so in that sense, yes of course you can fork it.

But if upstream development stops, or is no longer released, then a fork project would have to start running their own security screening and patching, which is prohibitively expensive.
