People/companies go to GitHub to be social. It's the Facebook of computer code. That's why all the big players are there, so they can share/market themselves. It's also where a lot of programmers put their code so they can show it for interviews. That's why there are so many public repositories there.

However, I have seen a drastic decrease in interaction (PRs, issues, etc) with my self-hosted repos even though you can auth with your Github credentials.
