BuddyBoss didn’t need to fork BuddyPress to create a platform of its own. BuddyPress comes with all the paraphernalia to create a plugin and customise everything of their own. They could have simply created a plugin to achieve Buddyboss. Instead they chose a path of forking an existing popular open source software and marketing as their own platform. They ads often show up for BuddyPress. Obviously they charge a lot for their App. Their hosting requirements are also huge, check reviews posted on their unofficial facebook group, monthly costs run up to $xxxx . This has been detrimental to the BP & its community + potential adopters. As a trend the SASS platforms are quick to pick up a big chunk of BP users. While customisability and code quality of BuddyPress still remains the best in the plugin industry it needs more love from the community. There is tremendous potential that WP is missing out here.
