Unless they convert repos to a proprietary format that requires a Github client to use, don't allow git cloning or pushing, and are trying to add Github-only features to git itself, then I think "embrace, extend, extinguish" is a bit overblown.

That's not how it works. Microsoft didn't add Windows-only features to Netscape either. It added them to IE. And then lured people into using those in order to make them dependent on these proprietary features and in order to decrease interoperability of websites using those extensions with other browsers.
