That's like saying it's OK to expect (say) Ford to make a car with no steering wheel. GitHub basically define the baseline for the entire industry and have millions upon millions to blow on trying to do better.

(OK, Saab did actually do that once but they're weird)

The two aren't even remotely comparable. Whose compny went out of control and crashed because of GitHub missing a feature with their code review?
The tail is not as painful as real engineering but as an industry we throw away billions in value every year to dumb processes. There is more to this than just the scar tissue.

It's not just a feature, the model is fundamentally different and much more conducive to delivery, feedback, and happiness.

Probably too old to be GitHub, but Knight Capital comes to mind.
