GitHub is a completely different scale. If Google hadn't wasted its opportunities to become the prime source code platform they'd also have issues.

That’s what I disagree with, I think Google codebase scale is massive. It has android + chrome + Google + Waymo + tensorflow etc, this is a lot of code. And also consider that every third party library is put inside Google3 codebase too, there are no truly external dependencies, all the code is there in one repo, with their version one version principle. I think Google is roughly similar scale to GitHub and is managing things far better
