It's probably a good idea because some GitHub browser extensions will automatically hide forks from search results, under the assumption that basically all "forked" projects are drive-by patchjobs. I'm not sure this is stopping anyone who would be useful to OpenBrush, but maybe it is.

Another good reason to defork is that, as we saw with the youtube-dl fiasco, there are some non-software-related reasons that MS may feel inclined to offline the entire fork tree. That'd be the bigger concern for me.
