Shitty OSes, naff late to the party phones and music players, convicted monopolists, tend to have arseholes running the company and are now paying 7 billion dollars to buy a company purely for the reputation, and it's people who are leaving GitHub who are not rational?

Does the product still work and provide the advertised service? If yes, then yes, it’s irrational. It isn’t like leaving GitHub is a multi-month process. It could be done in an instant.

It’s evacuating a house because there might be a fire in the future.

I think of it more like leaving a planet because the galactic empire just bought it and is about to hollow it out to build starkiller 2.

Which is a perfectly rational thing to do, if the risk is close enough to 1. Even in actual housing, they preemptively condemn and evacuate buildings that have become too unsafe to trust, before a disaster occurrs.

If it can be done in an instant, why wait?
