Maybe, but when Gap splits up some assets go to one, some assets go to the other. When a coin forks, someone just hits copy-paste and lists it on an exchange. No assets are transferred, no value changes hands, because there's no intrinsic value to a crypto asset. A gap split-up yields no intrinsic change in value, just like if I take $100 and put it into 2 piles.
This is more akin to my forking the GitHub repo for MySQL and calling it MySQLCash (MCH, naturally). It doesn't change anything about the original; that only happens if the new asset wages an adoption campaign like BCH/BSV/Bwhatever, in which case the origin story is irrelevant.
