I don't know... depends on how precisely you want to define "monopoly". Bitbucket are certainly popular in some circles. We use them here at Mammoth Data, as their pricing model is more economical for what we do.

Yeah, this is a fair point. Anecdotally, most of the agencies I've worked with use Bitbucket due to their pricing being based around users as opposed to the number of private repos - the lock-in becomes even tighter if they're running JIRA. Github's private repo limit even on organizational accounts can become constricting pretty quickly.
