I had wondered if part of the reasoning might be that KiCad feels a lot
more local to them. (KiCad being a French originated project - CERN
being on the French / Swiss border.)

Although we do a lot of gEDA development from here in Europe, gEDA may
still be viewed as more American, or less local. Not that I wish to
imply that the CERN folks may be biased based on this - but it is a
possibility.
