I guess GitHub got mindshare early and then became the entrenched option. So its less about technical merits than not, although anecdotally, while GitHub has its flaws, in many ways I prefer its UX to that of GitLab and Bitbucket. For example, Bitbucket's overview page isn't very useful to me at all and yet its the default repo page.
