Could someone easily copy a dapp and run it on ETC? Sure. That's irrelevant though--- a crypto dev community is about building easy to use libraries, making changes to the protocol as necessary, etc. ETH has all the talent on this front, and ETC has none from what I've seen so far.
AKAIK and this was answered for me by two upcoming DApp teams. They both don't intend to use ETC at present but could switch over if there was a convincing reason to ie market pressure.
the entire premise that ETC has no value since all devs are ETH devs has a couple fatal flaws. The first one I already pointed out and users dont really care if it is a copycat or not, if it is useful and works, that is good enough. So if ETH makes useful dapps, ETC has them.
also if you think that hoskinson has no devs or that there are no devs who will go from ETH to ETC, you are assessing the environment incorrectly. The lower cost of ETC alone is an advantage and a different set of people now have stakes in ETC and are motivated for it to succeed. this ETH maximalizm makes as much sense as bitcoin maximalism
I didn't say that ETC has no value. The value of any digital currency in the market is determined by buyers and sellers, and clearly there are buyers in the market for ETC.
All I'm saying is that I believe the long-term value of Ethereum will be determined by developers, and right now the majority of dev talent is with ETH and it's highly like that the long-term value will be in ETH. We'll see!
the recent hardfork sure seemed pretty centralized. there is a corporation and things were orchestrated very smoothly. I am sure the govts took notice, which means ETH is not a suitable chain to use for anything that any major govt is against.
I don't understand the question.

I am confused. If ETC can run all the ETH code easily, then doesnt that mean that anything all the wonderful ETH devs create also works with ETC?
That is the case now. My point is the code changes over time so that won't be the case for long.
Also, why would users want to use a copy cat version of a dapp?

until the first govt mandated hardfork is forced onto the hardfork friendly ETH chain
There are several plausible arguments against ETH, but that's not one of them.
A hard-fork is a decision voted on by the market. There's no one for a government to force a hard fork onto-- it's a consensus decision.
