Of course their primary target is Bitcoin, they very well understand that all their attempts to create a Bitcoin competitor will be nothing more than a wasted effort. The forks they come up with are blatant money making opportunities for them, and that's really it. Look at Bitcoin Cash, it was Jihan and Ver's proud 'creation', and yet they seem to allocate more time in getting ready for Segwit2x than their Cash coin - this just confirms that it is nothing than a money making opportunity, where they now move on to the next thing (Segwit2x). Other than that, everyone who's against Core is just a delusional troll and drama queen, but as always, people here are free to feel and express themselves the way they want.
