The founder Mark Greaves passed away and the community took over. Im not privy as to what went into the decision to move to Debian 11. Curious to see how fans of the OS react.

Personally, I'm betting it's got to do with the "snapification" of Ubuntu.

Ive used Peppermint a lot over the years and its been pro-Ubuntu for a long time and right up to their founders passing. It could be about Snap but they made a really quick pivot given their prior dev path.
