Are the Bitcoin Forks Facing an Innovation Dead End?

Bitcoin and its forks have had a good run, taking various modifications on the same tried-and-true base model that launched the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. The forks in particular have seen benefit from Bitcoin's branding and network effects. But could this end up being a detriment in the long term? Is it possible that, by remaining "a Bitcoin", these coins may be driving towards a dead end in innovation?
