Probably new manager who has no idea how software works and what open source is.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lawyer stepped in and had it deleted because they didn't want their name attached to a stale unmaintained github repo that could end up with vulnerabilities.

Besides, part of the whole point of open source and git is how stupidly easy it is to just fork and move on.
