It'd be great if the apparent "world's leading AI-powered developer platform" didn't go down every week.

Every week? You're being very generous to them
They should understand this. If users move away who’s code will the rinse and resell?
Move where exactly? Bitbucket and GitLab aren't that great either.

I'm affected by GitHub outages maybe once every 2 months for a couple of hours. Sure, various parts go down but it's never something super impactful to my workflow.

It's not great but, IMHO, not outrage worthy.

I am not particularly keen on github and microsoft scraping my code and re-selling it via copilot. If you own mission critical ip you can always spin up a vm and setup reliable backups using gitlab, or simply via ssh. It really is that easy to move away.
That tag line isn't for you. It's for aging C-suite exec's who like fancy sounding words.

As for not going down. Meh, at least you don't have to do on-call for it. That's kind of half the point of paying for SaaS. At the end of the day, it's just a human system.

They are being honest about their position. They do call it "artificial intelligence powered"
