It makes sense - for one thing, Rust is a very difficult language to work with, whereas one reason that PieFed is able to be developed so quickly is its choice to be coded in Python (the non-SQL parts anyway) that many developers are already very familiar with.
And look at the huge backlash against PieFed for even so much as existing alongside Lemmy, even as a fun project that is helpful to the development of the worldwide Threadiverse overall. A fork of Lemmy would be treated much more this way, with scorn and disdain.
