Given that there’s 20 years of “behind,” and many of those machines are no longer getting updates, what’s the harm? The dev learns something and the community gains knowledge from the project.
I was once critical of ReactOS for similar reasons, but I’ve realized just how beneficial that project has been to OSS as a whole. Even if they fail they will uncover a lot of interesting stuff if the project continues long-term.
