A core developer of Nginx, the popular web server, has quit the project and started a fork called freenginx.
The developer cited disagreements with the new management at F5, which acquired Nginx Inc. in 2019, over security policies.
The dispute arose from the assigning of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to bugs in the experimental HTTP/3 code.

I think most people share your confusion. It seems that F5 was following their responsibility as a CNA, but one guy disagreed enough to leave with all his toys.
