i'm aware of that feature of github and i'm using it myself in both
directions.

nevertheless, personally i only ever "github fork" a project after i
pulled a clone of the original project to my desktop, worked on it and
eventually want to submit a pull request.

git makes it so easy to handle multiple repositories simultaneously
(most of my git project have 2-4 remotes) and/or to change the URL of a
single remote.

nevertheless, it's not very important - i only found it slightly strange.
