I don't think the author is painting a correct picture here.

Yes, SourceHut has a different modus operandi compared to GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg et. al when it comes to merging patches. However, this doesn't invalidate Codeberg/GitLab as a viable primary repo and patch collection path.

If the author is so adamant on network effect advantages, they can host a mirror on GitHub with an appropriate README.md pointing folks to right direction.

If the author needs to write a long post to validate themselves about using GitHub, there's no need. At the end of the day, what you say to others doesn't matter much. The biggest wisdom is to not lie to yourself about why you're doing something.
