I don’t think people feel locked into proprietary bug tracking, they just choose it out of convenience. You can export data from Github or Gitlab.

I mean hell, trac and redmine have been around forever now. Is an open source wiki+bugtracker that revolutionary?

My best guess is that there’s some benefit of merging the source control in, but I’m not sure; it’s not like other environments can’t provide integrated bug tracking.

And then do what with it, import it into your own bugzilla instance? Have you ever tried that? It's a nightmare.

To be fair, Bugzilla is a nightmare by default.

At my previous org I imported our entire Github org into Gitlab EE. Don’t remember much pain, seemed pretty easy to me.

From my perspective, your last sentence is the wrong way around. It's not merging the source control into bug tracking, it's merging bug tracking into distributed source control.
