The fact you do not find the why convincing is not really relevant to the main content of this article. Some people read more than titles and a few sentences before dismissing it because it doesn't agree with their already-held views. Sorry you did not find it sufficiently interesting. Migrating off of github is an extremely common problem. If you see no need to migrate off of github, why would you be interested in reading this in the first place, let alone commenting on it? Why do you feel you need to be convinced to switch off of it?

The title is “WHY” to leave GitHub. The why is significantly lacking. I was more interested in reasons why I would consider an alternative, so that’s why I clicked at all.

Also I read the entire article, twice. I read it before I commented and I read it again when I came back today looking at comments.
