To be fair, in the true git sense, if a "fork" is really just a branch, deleting the original completely would also mean deleting every branch (fork) completely

obviously not a fan of this policy though

But a fork is really not a branch. it’s a copy of a repo with one remote pointing at the original on github but that doesn’t need to happen.
