Personally, I think Darwin is just another example of something that will loose to the laws of natural selection in the open-source community, after which it will be mainly maintained by Apple.

Frankly, I agree. I do not think Darwin will succeed as an open source initiative. But it doesn't need to. The fact that the foundation of Mac OS X is open for all to see is incredibly useful for hardware and driver developers. And that's good for Mac OS X.
