Ironic that the "hub for open-source projects" could become a walled garden if the latter happens.

I would say that the irony occurred when the "hub for open-source projects" is a closed-source platform.

(And I would say that as a paying user of Github that rather loves it.)

Irony is about intentions. Free-for-open is a marketing tactic, pure and simple.
