If a primary stated goal is self-hosting private repositories, why would you expect them to self-host?

Especially when it's an open-source project and GitHub is a large nexus of OSS development.

I expect dog-fooding by people making tools for other people. There is no reason they can't self-host (without publishing the interface to the entire 'net) and then just use GitHub as another remote to handle external collaboration.
