But by using GitHub for "collaboration" you are sacrificing decentralization.

Absolutely, and I genuinely hate that.

But for new open source projects of mine the ease of contribution and user expectation of a github repository are a trade-off worth making even so (I also maintain a self hosted master git repo that I consider the source of truth to -me- but these days it syncs from, rather than to, github, just because of the trade-offs involved).

And in return you are sacrificing your code and contributors to a Microsoft-based privacy policy. GitLab is better but still not ideal.
