I think you're confusing ETH and ETC roles in this thing. ETC stands for Ethereum Classic, as in the original. The soaring, new version today is ETH...no?

ETC has hardly appreciated in the past year...It is ETH that has taken off. So if BCC is to appreciate like ETC, it will have been a non-event!

Actually, both ETH and ETC "soared" since the fork, and by comparable amounts. As I recall, ETC started out at something like $0.70 when ETH was around $10. Currently we have ETC at $14 and ETH at $200, so that would be a factor of 20 for both.

ETC has always been priced an order of magnitude lower than ETH, but their relative price appreciation has been comparable. ETC rode the same rocket upwards.

Thus, I'm still wondering about BTC and BCC in this context. What will happen to potentially valuable coins that Coinbase won't give to users, yet won't grab for itself, either?

it is all about the support, if the fork gains any support it will exist. if it doesn't and instead continues to have more and more problems then it will eventually cease to exist.
with ETH/ETC there was a big support for both of them, i can say it was even equal support since the fork was rushed and people didn't want it but at the same time many of them lost money and wanted it back!!
also remember that mining ETH/ETC were both easy (it still is moderately easy). you can just start up your GPU and mine them.

with bitcoin mining is hard, it needs a lot of investment and then you are comparing the profit of $2700 and rising with the profit of $100 per coin and dropping. this is no longer a matter of less profit, it is a matter of a big profit versus a huge loss respectively.
