You're mistaken. This was true at one point, but no longer. GitLab maintains a document comparing itself to GitHub[0], has mature pricing tiers that go up to $99 per user[1], encouraged users to switch during the Microsoft acquisition by giving discounts on their higher tiers[3], and has paid me $500 in a bug bounty for reporting business logic flaws that allowed free users to leverage APIs that they shouldn't have had access to according to their plans.
If you're actively pulling devs to your product, and even charging them. Make sure your product stays up.
Also, please don't scorn people that disagree with you. Some times it's not them that "don't seem to get" it.
