They didn't. This is from Chaos Communication Camp, which takes place every fourth summer. It's the annual Conference that happens in December. The dates for this Camp was announced prior to Defcon dates.

If the conflict is actually intentional after all, I'd also be curious around the history of that.

Defcon dates are slightly different each year and this is the first time they collide. CCC dates were set pre-covid.
