Because no one else uses "boffins" in tech headline.

e.g. "UK gov asks university boffins to pinpoint cyber growth areas where it should splash cash"

On the contrary, there are uses of "boffins" for "tech" articles in U.K. tabloids such as The Sun, The Daily Star, and The Daily Mirror within the past 3 days alone.

It looks like the request from 2023 fell on deaf ears.
