If WP Engine wanted to dedicate resources to build on the code they are using, they would've contributed more to the core itself.

Instead of forking, they could channel their resources to give back and that would be a good step to resolve this.

Most of my other comments I was speaking in first person, in others I did not initially realize it wasn't as clear in some of them.

I also updated my bio here to reflect the product I am working for belongs to Automattic. Previously, it only mentioned the product which not everyone has to know belongs to Automattic.
