For what it's worth, I skimmed Gitlabs terms (https://about.gitlab.com/terms/) and don't see anything about it.

The few Code Sponsor ads I saw on Github were pretty benign, but I can understand why Github wants to keep them off of their platform.

Unfortunately, Github is where open source lives. The success that Code Sponsor saw was due to the minimal steps it took for a developer to start getting paid for open source. Asking developers to move their open source projects to Gitlab would not work.

Why would gitlab not work? Something in their terms and conditions?

Because most projects are not already there. Moving a community from GitHub to GitLab isn't trivial, not to mention all the work required to update material and avoid broken links.
