I think it is a brave decision which might affect the current users of Fleet for a while but will prove to be a good for the community overall.

If you think from a new comers perspective who is actually getting started with container orchestration he/she does a lot of research to choose a framework/tool and if you provide them with a lot of suboptimal solutions it doesn't really help (I do not mean Fleet is suboptimal but k8 is already close to become a standard). It is always better to have one or two standard solutions for a particular problem. Parallels can be drawn from the javascript world where we have this influx of libraries, frameworks and tooling which only does few things differently than others but this has led a lot of confusion specially among beginners and instead to thinking deeply about core concepts people are often seen chasing the new shiny frameworks.
