More than 74% of the matter in the universe is hydrogen, so when a star forms and collects surrounding matter most of that matter will be hydrogen.

It is a simple matter of the availability of different elements.

How much hydrogen does a red giant phase have?

During the red giant phase, a star has typically exhausted the hydrogen in its core, leading to hydrogen fusion occurring in a shell surrounding the inert helium core. The outer layers of the star may still contain some hydrogen, but the core hinders further hydrogen fusion. The amount of hydrogen present varies depending on the star's mass and its evolutionary history, but it is significantly less than during the main sequence phase.
