If the ZTK is decoupled from other users, e.g. from people who rely on zope.app, then they will simply not use it, or do a fork. This way, ZTK users are lost, which also leads to a loss of supporters and developers and results in a shrinking interest in ZTK, whose primary goal was/is to be _the_ base for all other Zope-based applications. So I think, being altruistic may be quite the same as acting out of self-interest.
