I'd say it was because GitHub created a solid community that worked. And yes, Sourceforge was a huge piece of garbage with it's awful clickbait, misleading "download" buttons, and scammy crapware foisting.
That Torvalds wrote git doesn't automatically make me want to use it, I think most people feel the same.
