I somewhat disagree with the second part. Forking tokens aren't new, the EIGEN whitepaper discusses Augur's REP, which is 8y old.

All of the forking happens at the bEIGEN level, so even if forking was a total unknown space, EIGEN is fully isolated from the mechanism.

Non-transferability is a pure market making move.

Sure, I think that it is correct and EigenLayer team also mentioned that. What I view as innovative is the combination of EigenLayer and Ethereum consensus and leveraging that for securing services where slashing cannot be really done just based on the parametrs specified in the code.
