So why did God forsake Jesus?

[Hebrews 11:6]

I don't know that the Bible ever specifically answers your question, which leaves us to reason our way to the answer. Others may wish to comment as well, but here is what I understand to be the consensus view.

Jesus, fully God and fully man, had always been closely intimate with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. But Jesus went voluntarily onto that cross precisely to take our sins onto Himself. In doing so, He suffered the same alienation, forsaking, from God that we do when we sin, and He felt it excruciatingly and lamented it audibly.

2 Corinthians 5:21

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Will look up more verses, have been taught that sin cannot be in the presence of God.

Also, that this forsaking lasted about 3 hours total. Checking Matthew 27.
