What’s the reason for Gentoo having so few distros based on him compared to other distro families?
There are hundreds of Gentoo-based distos out there.
None of them have finished compiling yet.

Probably because english isn’t their native language.
It’s pointless to make a derivative distro if the base is already perfect.
I guess kinda the same reason why there are not many distros based on Slackware.
And what’s that?

Both of them is about customization. Hard. I don’t think there’s two similar Slack or gentoo installation. So, for me, at least, it feels there’s really no need distributions of those. Maybe it’s just by definition, though.
Idk man, just wanted to look smart.
Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.
it’s very customizable.
People make new distros based on existing distros to alter the software stack in the original distro. Gentoo allows you to use essentially whatever software stack you feel like, it’s less of a traditional distro and more of a general-purpose Linux package manager and dependency resolver. It’s not very opinionated at all.
