#2I always wonder what GitHub has that Codeberg doesn't. It's a shame this isn't as popular. It seems like developers, of all people, are willingly letting their code be AI piggybacked.

Network effects and a corporate offering, I'd think.

Name recognition, and a stubborn belief that "stars" are a somehow useful metric in determining the quality of a project.

Is Codeberg actually effective at preventing crawling of public code they host?

Definitely network effects. For work, when I am interested in finding whether the authors of a research paper put up their code somewhere, I often type github in the search query. There are some others, of course, but its the default location. I'll be looking into this one though. I'd never heard of it.

An incredibly generous free tier offering for CI/CD

For many it isn’t easy to just up and abandon what they built on GitHub, especially if they have a big community and open issues and PRs. Familiarity also plays a big role, you can’t simply expect to open an account on a different forge and be done, it consumes time to get acquainted with the new stuff. Also GitHub may give access to more resources: For example, you can just use GitHub actions in your repo, private or public; to use the equivalent on Codeberg you have to request access and be approved.
None of this is a defence of GitHub. But if you want to enact change, you have to understand the reasons why people remain in the status quo.

Saying that as someone who keeps my open source projects primarily on codeberg: Getting access to Codeberg CI is a bureaucracy, it has outages due to DDOS attacks every other week and there are a good number of open source developers who are making non-negligible money via GH sponsors.

Codeberg doesn't allow any projects that aren't FOSS.
Personally I use Gitlab.
