The individuals who created the hive fork had no obligation to give tokens to anyone. When someone creates a new blockchain he decides how the tokens are distributed and if they decide to aidrop what the conditions will be to receive tokens. Everyone has the liberty to decide who they do business with. Nowhere in the history of blockchains has ever claimed that the creators of them have an obligation to give tokens to anyone...especially to those that fight against your vision.
That would be like after figthing a war you decide to move to an unpopulated area to stop the war but then you give your enemies a new place to stay plus weapons to fight against you. It would be dumb to say the least.
