The New York Times suffered a breach of its GitHub repositories in January 2024, leading to the theft and leak of sensitive personal information of freelancers.
Attackers accessed the repos using exposed credentials, but the breach did not impact the newspaper's internal systems or operations.
The stolen data, amounting to 273GB, was leaked on 4chan and included various personal details of contributors as well as information related to assignments and source code, including the viral Wordle game.

Any particular reasons?

For one thing, more FOSS focused. It's lighter/faster for me than a self hosted gitlab, there is nothing hidden behind a paywall, they are working on some nice activitypub integration, actions are really handy (yes it's a bit of yaml soup), codeberg is using and supporting it, a better focus on security and stability than gitea (where it forked from), the ux is clean, and that's about what I can think of off the top of my head.

I’m down with all of those but possibly activitypub integration. Does that add to the product or is it a deviation from the core product?

Imo, an add.

Creating a bug report or feature request can be done without having to create an account, and the backend tools (including blocking instances) are being completed first.

It's not like it's forced either. You can just run it local and have no federation (once the feature is out of course, right now you wouldn't have it regardless).
