GitHub has a pretty extensive API; it's not hard to write a simple script to clone all that data if you want to, or publish it somewhere else. I'd be surprised if there aren't already a dozen of those scripts floating around already.

That’s not the same. You’re talking about copying the data locally, but this still doesn’t let you create issues for eg. offline.

Why not? You can create issues with the GitHub API (and the CLI); it's not hard to imagine a tool which would "sync" issues from a local database or some such. The reason it doesn't exist is probably because there's not a lot of demand for it.

Come to think of it, it wouldn't even be that difficult to sync this database to someone else, too. Although to be honest this doesn't seem all that useful to me.
