No, drivechain is just a soft fork. There are people threatening to refuse the BIP300 upgrade, which is fine. But if there is another update to Bitcoin Core that doesn’t include drivechain (in an effort to remove them) this new fork would break the longest timechain, so it would be a hard fork. I worry there will be a propaganda campaign that the hard fork is the "real Bitcoin" like the Bitcoin Cashers tried.

sorry i still dont get the second part. why there will be a hard fork? if BIP300 is not implemented next update there will be a hard fork? who is doing this? where i can read about it?
ok now i got what you are saying if it isnt released as a softfork others will release it in a hardfork and we get big confusion
Let’s say BIP300 is activated via MASF, people start using sidechains, and the blocks are mined. The Bitcoin timechain continues. If another group says they have a version of Bitcoin Core that doesn’t have drivechain, but it does have something like CTV, then that is a hard fork. It is no longer compatible with the longest timechain, because it is not backwards compatible with BIP300.
