Eh, I have no love for Github but this is huge bikeshedding. This can apply to so many pieces of a software project that at some point you just aren't even working on a project.
Every tool has tradeoffs and based on use github and gitlab are the kind of tradeoffs developers are willing to make
I'd disagree. I think it's a "Black Swan" esque problem. Software developers shouldn't use Github for their bread and butter, in the same way that I argue real businesses should pay for email and not use Gmail.
Sure, it might work fine forever, but when it doesn't, you're really screwed and you could have avoided that in a relatively simple way. Reminds me of seatbelts and fire extinguishers.
