Advanced Search is compatible with OpenSearch (GH did add this recently)
Plan and schedule issues with automated iteration cadences (great for recurring annual tasks)
Container Scanning available in all tiers (already very easy to add container scanning in enterprise, but now available for free everywhere, have to use a third party action in github)
Project-level Secure Files in open beta (missing from github)
Semgrep-based SAST (in addition to their existing SAST & DAST, something github lacks natively)
Approve deployments from the Environments page (GitHubs approval flows are enterprise only)
Improvements to Terraform registry

GitLab is already well beyond the feature set of GitHub, you should give it a look sometime.
Things that immediately jump out to me:
1. Security Dashboards
2. Kubernetes Integration (automated test environments)

Things that immediately jump out to me:
1. Security Dashboards
2. Kubernetes Integration (automated test environments)
3. SAST / DAST / OSS license checks / compliance frameworks
4. Feature Toggles using unleash (hosted by Gitlab)
5. More robust project planning, way beyond 'issues'.
6. Can read in results from unit testing / cypress without adding additional plugins
7. Can send alarms from your observability platform of choice to indicate release health
8. OpenFaaS support
