Forking the Bitcoin network is a tried and tested attempt to create a coin to rival
Bitcoin which has proven to be futile. All previous forked coin performances and
acceptance has shown the trust lies with the project with the 100% security performance.

Forking the Bitcoin network now would be seen as a folly!

It was not an attempt to create a rival coin but to scam people who don't know better. Don't confuse competition with malice.

Don't you think scam is a bit harsh. Like there wasn't an attempt to steal anyone's money or extort money from anyone. Last I check, almost wallets that were holding Bitcoin were eligible for equivalent amount of fork coins like Bitcoin cash and Bsv.

You may forget it, but there was time when BCH community and some BCH website (primarily bitcoin.com) intentionally confuse people between BTC and BCH. I remember people bought BCH and assume they bought BTC.

As for BSV, it's already very shady from beginning since the fork led by CSW. He's one of faketoshi who send terror to some BTC and BCH developer/supporter and took many years before COPA eventually bring this matter to UK court law.

What if Bitcoin cash was merge mined it might have been better. Ive been trying to think of a idea that can really help. Like a merge mined fork called "Bitbill" the name may change but I like it. Could help miners with electric bills and late comers. The block size may have to be raised 64MB sounds crazy. But I would like the TPS to be more than Bitcoin Cash. I think support is most important but liquidity will come with a great protocol. The branding and marketing can push it into being adopted.

Considering BCH community decided to split from BTC network through hard fork, updating it's protocol to support merge mining with BTC sounds like admitting defeat. So it's very unlikely it'll happen.
