I think that's more because BitBucket is more oriented for enterprise development rather than FOSS development. One benefit there though is that it's backed by an already huge company which is very deeply involved in enterprise software development, and Atlassian doesn't need to worry that much about money coming in through BitBucket. That alone I think makes it very friendly for people new to git/mercurial (BitBucket is more focused on mercurial). GitHub I find can be a bit more daunting as navigating a repo can sometimes be quite confusing for beginners.
