My first thought upon reading Nuitka's name in the article was along the lines of "I hope they've contributed some of this to Nuitka". Not a very nice trend.
Forking happens all the time. It's one of the benefits of open source. I've often made PRs on github to projects while shifting projects I work on to my fork since upstreaming can take months or often never happen
Granted, Nuitka is an active project, but wasmer.io is going to have a much more focused desire with their changes that they can deploy, meanwhile getting it upstream will have to go through rounds of review & adjustments
