Usually when a developer has their own engine and need to add a feature, they don't delete the entire codebase and remake it from the ground up, they just add what they need and that's that.
You can't really call LGPE->SWSH a "fork" either, fork implies both are being used, SWSH is just an updated version of LGPE so they have no reason to use the LGPE version anymore.
I think people really confuse "new engine" with "updated engine" often.
