If you don't like Github (or if they make a change in the future that makes you dislike Github), you can use Gitlab CE, Gitea, Gitorius, git over ssh, etc. all open source options while still using the upstream git client.

If you don't like the Snap Store, well, get coding and be prepared to fork the client also.

And for the record Flatpak does not have any such limitation - while many people use Flathub to host flatpal repos, there are many more Flatpak repos available, including Distro hosted ones (Fedora has a system for building Flatpaks from Fedora RPMs and hosting the resulting Flatpak repos).

Given the amount of OSS projects submitting packages to winget on github it's pretty safe to say that most projects don't care if a web service is OSS or not. That boat sailed like 10y ago.
