To be honest it wouldn't be beneficial this time to give away equal amount of BCC. It was okay with ETH and the classic one because the price was very low. Just imagine even if split occurs on the scale if 90/10 then also the wallet will need to give away $250 for each BTC that is held by users. Wow, that won't be profitable man. And who knows the future? What if bitcoin fell and BCC rise? That would be complete loss for end users. Seems to be very critical if splitted and cash is redistributed.
I agree with your opinion. Ethereum value was very low at that time. Also, Ethereum hard fork had different reasons and was basically decided by its founder.
I think the future in crypto-coins cannot be forecast so easily. Bitcoin Cash can disappear in a very short period of time, but it could also have a long life and become more valuable than many other altcoins. Let's see what's happening...
