Feels like there is another one of these every week.

Might be a sweet spot. I'm thinking (a) well-understood problem (b) hardware's rented, and scales with use (c) lots of teams have CI costs high enough to be annoying, but not so high that they need authorization to change their supplier (d) github are marking up the service so hard that it's easy to compete on price.
It is relatively easy to roll out a solution to this problem and GitHub doesn't care about competition in this niche.
Yes, I wonder when/if GitHub decides to drop prices at some point.

But in the meantime I’ve recently released RunsOn [1] with the same promise (10x cheaper, faster) but the whole thing runs in your AWS account.
