It seems it changed from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap. I would like to know/understand why.

Google Maps, above a certain threshold, is a paid service for websites. I bet on this.

A variety of reasons, including having to change stuff anyway for Google Maps v2 deprecation, preferring OSM's open model to Google with MapMaker, preferring Leaflet, and yes, possible cost too.
