A fork is not a bad thing

It has happened again, so I have to wonder again: What’s the reason for a sudden, vitriolic knee-jerk reaction to the idea of someone forking a distro?
After all, you have a slightly different idea of where a distribution should go. You have a plan, a goal, a mission statement and your own favorite wallpaper. What more do you need than that, plus a little ambition, to set yourself up as supreme dictator for life?
I understand brand loyalty, if that’s the reason for the reaction. Or maybe it’s an inability to see a distro’s shortcomings.
