I think you do not understand how it works. Hardfork does not alter the maximum supply of bitcoin, it just creates an altcoin based on the current blockchain. But bitcoin will still have 21M maximum supply. If ever the hardforked coin survives, it is just an altcoin and will compete with bitcoin on the market.
I think original poster resisted on fact that no matter how good/bad hardfork is, original Bitcoin users are going to receive it's token so..
