The FAQ on the release announcement talks about this actually (I was curious myself and went looking to see if they discussed):

Q: Why is Proxmox VE 9.0 released ahead of the stable Debian 13 release?
A: Debian 13 is scheduled for its stable release this Saturday, August 9. Its core components have been stabilized since it entered the "hard freeze" phase on May 15. Following extensive integration testing and valuable feedback during the Proxmox VE 9.0 beta, we are confident in the stability of this release. Since our core packages are either maintained directly by the Proxmox team or are already locked by Debian's strict freeze policy, there is no technical reason to postpone our release.
