Why would this be better considering most people still use terraform?

In my opinion, this is not a matter of better, but wider support. The opentofu is the OSS fork of terraform.

What I do is make a symlink terraform to my tofu executable. the underlying mechanisms between the two executables are close enough to the same (for opentofu 1.9.1 at least).

Is this even necessary if most people already create an alias for opentofu ? calling the terraform command basically calls opentofu ? @frazergibsonntt @jose-joye @ajpenner

At some point the functionality may split. Until that time, I am personally happy with using the alias.

Agree with that, so why not add in the README a point about the alias if someone want to use tofu instead of terraform.
