This (behavioural data) is precisely Microsoft's playbook - no charitable interpretations ought apply. As far as I am concerned, no Open Source project has any justification for still being on the platform as of the day of the MS buyout. It's not as though there aren't good alternatives just a git clone away.

What behavioral data can you glean from a code search like Github's? The context is very different than, for example, Google's, so is there really much useful data you can get here?

From a code search in the wild, with no context? Not a lot. From a code search from a person who's logged in, identified? Well, probably still not a lot, but it's another factoid about that person to hang onto the knowledge graph.
