Because newpipe is now being rewritten so no one is maintaining it and pipepipe haveany features newpipe don't .New pipe too support other services .
Newpipe is not being rewritten. They have chosen to do progressive improvements instead:

The source you linked even says they are going to rewrite the app piece by piece and it will be slow .
I did not know NewPipe was unmaintained. I switched to Tubular. Thank you for the post!
Newpipe is not being rewritten and definitely not unmaintained: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/discussions/10118?tab=readme-ov-file#discussioncomment-8180701
NewPipe is maintained. They just haven't been adding many features recently. And Tubular is just new pipe with Sponsorblock and return YouTube dislike
I guess you could say kinda maintained . They just maintain it to keep it barely working and i support that because it wouldn't matter in the end anyway as they are rewriting huge parts of their code.
