Three reasons:
1. It's based on Debian GNU/Linux, which I like as a project/community.
2. It's based on Debian GNU/Linux, and I already only use Debian (and Ubuntu) based Systems (and I like apt) - I'm not familiar with Manjaro/Arch, Alpine Linux or others...
3. It had the reputation as "most stable" PinePhone distro when I had to choose one, and on a daily driver: stability > performance
...and - AFAIK! - it still is the most stable option.
I bought a postmarketOS-PinePhone at time and played a bit with the Alpine-based pmOS, but I switched to Mobian after Mobian added Full Disk Enrcyption*. Mobian turned my PP from a nice toy to a usable smartphone.
(*Which was adopted from pmOS of course, so kudos to Mobian AND postmarketOS developers! )
