So what's the problem? GitHub gives you a bunch of free stuff that would be pretty annoying/expensive to self host. Seems like a good deal.

If they remove some of that stuff, that would be worth complaining about. Until then, seems smart to take advantage of what GitHub is offering. Their CI isn't even super proprietary, you can basically just write bash scripts.

I pointed out that any "Resilience/ monopoly concerns" must consider more than source hosting.

The phrase "pretty annoying/expensive to self host" highlights the source of those concerns.

How could one "just write bash scripts" to support macOS if you don't have Apple hardware, as in my example?

By then it’s too late, because there’s no alternative.
