Where’d you come up with “same quality?” It’s a fork of Bitcoin tweaked to be optimized for on-chain P2P payments. “Bitcoin Cash” seems like an attempt at an accurate descripion of what it is imo.

BCH is not a fork of bitcoin. BCH never gained consensus and that means the bitcoin network did not fork. BCH is a failed attempt of forking bitcoin. BCH is just a test net at this point.......

In a non-contentious fork that results in one chain, it’s barely a “fork.” BCH was a textbook spin-off fork resulting in 2 chains as the name fork implies. Forks can be contentious, non-contentious, or spin-off.

BCH including the genesis block and is SHA256 means BCH was an attempt to fork BTC and not an attempt to create a "spin off" or separate chain. This means BCH is a failed attempt to fork BTC and should have been abandoned when it didnt gain consensus or kept alive as a test net.

You’re misusing the word fork. This is objective - it’s literally a fork. It’s a spin-off form because it has replay protection and a different name and ticker symbol.

2/ the whole idea of the word “fork” is that one chain forks into two.

a hard fork that does not gain consensus is an altcoin.

I also don’t buy the HF distinction. Separating transaction from witness data was a meaningful change to how Bitcoin works. Because that change lacked consensus, we now have BCH (among other reasons.)

The argument would be that non-Segwit transactions are still valid on the network and so the same network still exists as it always has.

I know the technical distinction between HF and SF. Point is Segwit fundamentally changed BTC network in many critical ways.
