Anyone can fork an open source project, and they frequently do to varying degrees of success. @element isn't even the first company to fork Foundation-hosted projects.
Forks of projects hosted at other foundations, such as the ASF, don't make those foundations less relevant.

You are very aware that the projects were handed over, not forked. The foundation-hosted projects have been discontinued the moment @element took over.

This is another common pattern seen across open source foundations.
You are welcome to your opinions, but they're not grounded in reality. @element
