I guess it could happen. But if they want to get 1 full bitcoin, they can look for it and try to trade with stable coin pair altcoins because that's what we've been doing. As long as they can do these methods and they can find out how they can get 1 bitcoin, they can have a lot of bitcoins, especially if they can analyze bitcoins.
It already happen. Haven't the history of cryptocurrency stated that Bitcoin had been forked so many times some are soft fork while many are hardforks that create another blockchain and is called an altcoin? So the next generation forking Bitcoin is not news anymore. They can fork it as they like as long as the consensus doesn't approved of the fork, they are only getting an altcoin out of that fork.
When the price of bitcoin is like it's out of reach for most people but they can still try to get it in various ways, they will do it. Even though that means they have to fork bitcoin again because their goal is still to have 1 full bitcoin.
As I stated as long as the fork isn't approved by the consensus, they will never get a full Bitcoin from that fork unless they created a market for the forked Bitcoin, sell it and buy 1 full Bitcoin after the sales.
