Pretty much ANY distro which listens better than the Debian developers will gain at the loss of Debian.
That's the way the world is going. If you don't deliver what users want, someone else will.
It's not like back in the 80's when there were limited options and even more limited support. The growth of the internet has changed all that.
And it may not be distros which even exist today. People don't like what's happening, they can spin something else off. You can't lock people in like before.
