Whoever invented the term apparently thought fork() was the only
way to create a subprocess.

 
It is the most natural way in this case, because it creates a complete
copy of the parent process, which is what you want.
 

On VMS it will obviously use LIB$SPAWN or SYS$CREPRC.

 
Not only is that more expensive, it also requires additional setup to
recreate the effect of fork(2).

 
They have one big advantage over fork on VMS.
 
They exist!

Not enough to make up for the performance disadvantage, though ...
