What's going on with GitHub lately? I've never seen them having so much issues over the years as they do have now.

Microsoft management/engineering practices+AI slop.
That, but also AI tools have made github req/res go up by 100x. There is simply too muvh AI generated traffic.

I k ow for a fact that ANY other platform would fail faster than github if they had the same volume of http requests.

I get that, but all of that was in there for quite some time though, no?
Digital systems don't necessarily deteriorate immediately after the causal factors. Like technical debt, issues grow unnoticed and become visible gradually.
