The "just use GitHub" mentality is harmful groupthink. How about being open to learning other tools? Locking yourself into a single ecosystem and bothering otherwise productive people who don't buy into it is how we get SourceForge.

SouceForge was never a particularly good site, and once a better one came along everyone moved off it fairly easily.

Seems like working as intended. If Github goes evil like SourceForge did I don't imagine it will be a huge amount of effort to move to another site. In fact it can probably be automated for most projects.

For high stakes projects, I feel there's an aspect of "choose your battles wisely". Is relenting in some dimension going to harm the overall goal? IIRC Go was hassled off of mercurial and onto git, so there's a bit of a fractal too.
