Sourceforge used to have similar reasons.

And if github truly goes to shit like source forge did people will just move to a clone.

But if you look at any source forge repo right now, I think you'll see github as a long way to fall before it gets that bad.

The tragedy here is that folks don't learn.
Learn what, exactly? Anything can go sour, including community-run open source stuff. There is never any guarantee for the future about anything.
Yet many expect that everything always stay the same, and flock like sheeps to the next one that sells themselves as otherwise.
