unless you search for it or a repo that lives on it explicitly

Skill issue indeed. Reading comprehension, specifically.

Let me spell it out:

  1. You won't find Codeberg in searches unless you know it exists already, or already know of a specific tool that is hosted there.
  2. Euro-Office creators probably want people to discover their tool as much as possible.
  3. Hosting the tool on a platform that doesn't come up in searches due to its relative obscurity is therefore a bad idea.
  4. Euro-Office creators chose not to do that.

the vapid useless SEO-optimized articles that you find

"This year will be the year of ~~the Linux desktop~~ Codeberg!"

On top: Codeberg is like sourceforge: Relativeky unknown.
So some of the less technically inclined may know GitHub but would interpret Codeberg as a rip off unless IONOS literally links to it on their website (which they probably wont and instead just provide the download link or literally host the git infra on their own)
