do you think financial institution would go through the hassle of giving their share holders their owned value of the second chain?

I've seen a discussion about this before, and it looks like the ETF will just choose which chain they think is the real one.

My take:

I think it would have been better if their terms would say the value of any potential Fork is added to the total ETF. I get they don't want to deal with each worthless Fork. I can create Bitcoin LV (Loyce Vision) today and nobody cares. That's okay. But if a Fork has value, they should not just choose the most valuable Fork, they should sell the other Forks and pay dividend to the ETF holders.
Then again, I also get that this could become complicated: what if Bitcoin LV is initially worthless, but after 2 years it's worth $42. That would mean they can still sell the Fork, but the ETF holders at that moment are different than the ETF holders during Fork days. So distributing the dividend to the right people is complicated.

I'm hoping competition between ETFs will eventually lead to this solution, but I'm afraid it's only going to be implemented after customers lose money if a new valuable Fork emerges.
