Bitcoin Knots is not some hardfork full node like Bitcoin ABC, Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Cash... etc as we saw in the past
Bitcoin Knots is one of Bitcoin wallet softwares and it's open sourced.

Why did you compare a Bitcoin wallet software with hardfork full node coins?
I see it is a very inaccurate and weird comparison as wallet softwares compare with each other, and different cryptocurrencies compare with each other.

People are free to choose Bitcoin wallet softwares and I can find both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots with some filters.

Read again, I did not compare them, I pointed the difference that Bitcoin Knots does not attempt to do a contentious hardfork to split the chain, so it is a valid full node implementation that is picking up traction specially as a protest against anything that could lead to spamming the blockchain with non-monetary activity, so Bitcoin Knots is a better way to show the world that you are against this rather than not updating to the latest Bitcoin Core and using an old version, which is pointless since you would be stuck with that old version, and so what im saying is that there is no reason it shouldn't be featured in this forum, specially as it picks up more traction.
