I like others am confused by this common sentiment. Github is the remote repo, but the version control is distributed so everyone has a copy. I'm pretty sure I can fill a few hours or more with work needing to be done on my local repo. FYI I'm not a professional software developer but I would like to know.

The things that come to mind: issue trackers, messaging, not being able to see latest pull requests.

Update: Now i'm starting to understand the build dependency issue. Still, why do you need to rebuild all dependencies from GitHub repo to build the application? Can't the currently available version work?

Continuous integration, continuous delivery. Your Jenkins jobs all point to repos on GitHub? Do you plan to fix every single url? Some tools actually pull stuff from GitHub. If you don't have a mirror privately somewhere, where do you push your code? How can you tell you actually own the latest of everything? Time to compare with every co-worker.
