I think it’s kind of an extreme version of that thing where if you want an answer on reddit you don’t ask for help, you confidently post a wrong answer and someone will immediately correct you.
The need to pedantically correct strangers online knows no bounds, not even the government can prevent it.
For whatever reason Warthunder attracts a lot of people that are total nerds over military hardware, especially on the historical side of things, including a lot of wereaboos. It also attracts people actually working in military positions, where a lot of the leaks come from, to my understanding. I remember a bunch of years ago there was a leak because a bunch of them were having an argument on the forums, and one of them was an engineer with access to blueprints.
I assume it has a lot more players because it heavily invests in marketing and has broader appeal (not everyone wants to spend hours reading a plane’s manual and watching tutorials just to be able to get through the pre flight checklist). So more chances of a random player having access to (low level) classified docs, and then uploading them.

I will never understand why war thunder of all things attracts all the leaks.
A DCS or even that indie HEAT game is high fidelity realism. This shit is balance numbers.
