The main reason why hackers prefer it.
The reason why many computer professionals use it is just because it has a lot of programs related to computer security, so it would be very difficult to use debian or ubuntu for this purpose, since we have to install all the packages and programs to turn it into a machine related to computer security, so we use Kali Linux that already has installed the tools that we are likely to use. It has a lot of tools for computer security and ethical hacking.
