This very much mirrors my own preference.
For popular end user applications there is a clear motive to do proprietary forks with extra features, which would lead to the original open project either lagging in features or having to spend effort in recreating the features of the proprietary fork while the latter can continously take any new features from the open project.
For libraries/frameworks however, there is little if any real incentive for proprietary forks since it will be hard get developers buying into that.
