It's more than that. Broken updates. Failed hardware ventures. The project has been shambling along for a long time.

I liked Manjaro, they had a nice theme, it was in the direction of Arch, but still had some guardrails for the noobish.

Then my system kept breaking, then they screwed up their certs. If they want to fork it and go forward with a different focus/ideology, that's fine by me.
