GitHub "won" because of the social aspect around it and the tooling for open source projects - it never had more generous free levels.

BitBucket limited the number of repos you could have while GitHub allowed you to have as many as you wanted so long as they were public. Which had the (intended?) effect of making it more useful socially.
