Offtopic but, aren't you scared by "GitHub improves its PR workflow" and put your product out of business?

Yes that's a real risk! CodeApprove is not (yet) anyone's full time job so it's also an acceptable risk.

However I think the biggest issue with the landscape for code review tools is that 99% of developers use the default system that ships with their VCS. So on most teams, that's GitHub. People should be actively choosing their code review tools just like they choose their VCS, IDE, CI/CD platform, Issue Trackers, etc. It's one of many tools that makes up your SDLC "Stack".

They haven't done it yet. What's been stopping them?

As long as CodeApprove and Reviewable remain niche they've got nothing to worry about.
