There is no "of course" about this at all. That a fork is easier to use is just your opinion and plenty of Japanese people might disagree with you. It can also depend on the food- like TalnSG I find it way easier to eat a lettuce salad with chopsticks than a fork because the lettuce will move around on a fork (if you can even get it onto the fork) but is more controllable with chopsticks.

And forks did not evolve from chopsticks- when in European history did people use chopsticks for them to have evolved into a fork?
