I'm not sure that's true, but it is true that MS would have motivation to leverage Github to promote other (licensed) MS software.
At a conference years ago, a Microsoft rep told me over beers that almost everything his division did had the ultimate objective of selling more SQL Server licenses. That's why SQL Server is a required component of almost all MS enterprise software.
So you might for instance see a SQL Server backend option, and then "Github Enterprise" sold with that configuration.
