I wanted a full collection of them :-) So I got motivation not only get some money from forks, but also collect forks. It's a kind of irrational motivation, just like collecting physical coins for numismatic purposes.

It's more like collecting garbage. Trash made by scammers to trick people into sending them money.

Do I understand correct that some forks can be claimed solely through their own wallet, and this can be done only provided you have synced the whole blockchain, so this is the very reason why claiming some forks (such forks) takes a lot of time?

Technically, when you have the original private key that had a balance at the moment it Forked, you have all Forks already. But to use them, you will indeed need a wallet that supports them.
