This is kind of like asking what the point of Dropbox is when we have rsync. Rsync is nice, but most people won't know how to use it.




Setting up a server with SSH and GitLab is more work than setting up a server with SSH. Dropbox is great and I use it but only because I can’t get the same functionality out of rsync without major additional orchestration. But if I am the only one working on my own project why would I need a second read-only UI for my own code?
