Because it was the first binary computer that did calculations with
electronic switching elements (gates), and it would be really cool to
have one! The ABC also pioneered the use of capciators as regenerative
storage elements (it's how DRAM still works today).

It predated ENIAC, and it's clear that some of the features of ENIAC
were inspired by the ABC after John Mauchly visited Iowa State and saw
the ABC.
