You're missing why Microsoft purchased github in the first place. It wasn't for the personal account revenue - which isn't even a rounding error on their earnings report even if it is 10x what it was when revenue was leaked in 2016 (at which point it was $17.5 million/year). If that WERE the reason, they'd be charging for visual studio code, not giving it away.
