Beyond the pure signaling value, I would imagine Apple has internal GitHub tooling which maintains particular invariants for repos hosted under github.com/apple. Those invariants can potentially be relaxed or discarded altogether for a different org much easier. (Special-casing particular repos within the repos is technically possible, but (a) is harder and (b) probably runs into policy issues with legal.)
