If they did the same thing except stealing satoshi coins for themselves, the fork would have much higher chance to succeed.
There would be no fork in that case, because there would be no money to pay for all the initial development work the sidechains need and whatnot.
Do you know how much money is poured into developing Bitcoin Core as well as grants for tons of other useless projects every year?
If eCash received 10% of that they get wouldn't have the need to sell some coins to fund their bootstrapping operation. But of course they would never get that since it's not a Bitcoin project, which is understandable.
But then somehow when they try to use the fact that they're not a Bitcoin project and transparently sell some newly-generated coins -- on a new blockchain that isn't Bitcoin -- suddenly they are stealing?
