The "why" was pretty clear in the article: the author thinks GitHub is doing unethical things with the code the author was putting there (specific things, not "Microsoft bad"). Now you and I may not agree with those things being unethical, but the author does, and I'd say that's a pretty good reason to stop using them.

I would have loved to see that talked about more. I disagree that it's pretty clear. I just read it again and the "Why" (which again is in the title) is lacking for me. I didn't find this article particularly useful or informative. I'm glad you found it useful and informative and I think it's okay that we disagree on that.
