They can't really cite the situation as a problem given their hand in creating and continuing it.

It's hard to talk about "them" as a singular entity. I bet that the "Copilot all the things!!11" faction mostly does not consist of GitHub SREs.
The GitHub SREs are working for the Copilot company.
Satya Nadella at the LlamaCon event in April 2025: "I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software."

In particular Github, with it's copilot-next initiative, has probably so much AI generated code inside today that fixing all this new performance problems will need lots of human developer brains.

It literally have problems the moment MS bought it, way before AI gold rush.
The sysadmins didn't make any of those decisions.
I suppose the idiocy of their parent company is their job security.
