Why aren't there multiple testnets? It seems like a strange idea to only be able to run one experiment at a time. I can appreciate it still requires miners and nodes but I would've expected they'd allocate resources to different concepts.

They are, see jtoomins post on Reddit

This fork seems to be taking place on the one existing testnet, I think the last sentence in that post is nothing more that a hypothesis.
