Github is used for all kinds of things. Most of mine is forks that I used to try and issue a PR to some other repo, or gists that I use for personal reference. Likewise, I have a website that I barely use, but it's there. Neither are indicative of professional capability or are labeled "portfolio", they're indicative of some of the stuff I do in my spare time. Employers ask for a Github link almost 100% of the time, this is a problem created by the filtering process itself and the proselytizing of having a "passion" for software.

Being prejudiced towards that is as stupid as anything.

Now if someone labels themselves as "an open source contributor" or something along those lines, sure whatever be as critical as you want. I'd probably expect to see at least frequent commits to a repo that people use.
