What were the reasons? Gross unprofessionalism or were there ever competence issues?

OOC how many have you seen? I can’t imagine that it happens oftenThe few I've seen were usually a combination of both to varying degrees.
Well-liked and professional but incompetent residents tend to get a lot of leeway. Incompetent and unprofessional residents get the hammer pretty quickly.

That would be an institutional policy not necessarily the residency making that decision.I heard of a firing for not getting vaccinated but this is like third hand information.
Person at my prelim got fired for this, but ended up getting picked up for categorical in a state that didn’t care about COVID.I heard of a firing for not getting vaccinated but this is like third hand information.
After having to deal with an attending who maligned/harassed me, tried to derail me and turn a whole section against me due to his/her prejudices, I can tell you that this certainly happens. Thankfully multiple other attendings in other sections and my PD knew I was a strong resident. I have seen other capable residents experience the same treatment. It may not be common, but it happens.I'm not saying that otherwise good residents don't sometimes get railroaded by faculty with an axe to grind, but that's not something I've seen. After having supervised substandard residents and sat in on meetings about them, I take stories about unfairly treated/dismissed residents with a boulder-sized piece of salt.

Is there a way to determine this before residency? I mean we look at MRIs/CTs/X-rays in anatomy but obviously it’s way easier than anything that would be done in residencyTwo were because they just didn't possess the ability to be a radiologist. This is rare, but it occasionally happens that an otherwise intelligent, capable physician just isn't wired to process medical imaging

I'm not sure why you left out the first sentence of the paragraph you quoted, because it sounds like your experience is in keeping with mine, to wit, you had other people (most importantly your PD) that were on your side. I'm sure the experience was frustrating and anxiety-producing, but it also sounds like the right outcome was reached.
Given the pervasiveness of difficult personalities in academia, unjustified conflicts between solid residents and difficult attendings is a foregone conclusion. I'm just saying that, in my experience, it's not at all an us vs. them mentality among program faculty. To the contrary, residents have strong advocates in these situations, just like you did.
How do residents afford that!There are a few cases over the years relating to sex/solictation offenses involving radiology residents if you search for arrests.
