Adafruit's fork was for business reasons as they wanted control over implementation for the hardware they sell, and to focus development efforts on making it more accessible to newcomers. While I'm not thrilled with the fork since it dilutes the original project imo, they do still contribute back to the micropython project. But I don't think there's any lost love there, they just had different goals with a financial stake (unlike the uasyncio split which was ego driven)
