Github ignored platform issues (not just performance) because it was busy migrating to Azure, and it wants to bear the cost of ai using its infrastructure now to benefit from that somehow later. Other providers do not have this problem and live mostly from paying customers whose priority is to have stable platform. So yes, it is easy to find someone else whose priorities align with mine and doesn't have GH issues.

Which is fine, as long those using it do not do so at expense of others. As a paying Github customer, I do not wish to pay for a service that doesn't work because someone else is throwing agents at it. This is largely GH issue, not general problem.

Other people may not be throwing AI agents at those other platforms yet. I doubt it but even if those platforms weren't currently being targeted, they will be.
I assume other platforms will prioritize paying customers over agents (of not paying ones) because they do not have resources to attempt anything else.
