Yeah, it's a shame the GitHub is starting to actually take advantage of their hosting monopoly, to the detriment of solutions like OpenCollective and Liberapay.

On the other hand, Git is distributed. Can't you just use GitHub as a mirror, and direct users elsewhere for actual development through the README?

Then again I didn't know about liberapay or OpenCollective up until now and I do open source for a living.

Or just include external donation links in the readme?

I assume you can't just do that since GitHub might offer to give donors regular activity updates.
