Replying to myself with a different perspective... On the other hand, from Github’s point of view it just makes sense to do this. And in a way, it raises the bar for dedicated providers of open-source sponsorships. If they can’t provide something clearly better than Github’s built-in feature, then maybe their service just isn’t good enough. Of course maybe they can’t compete properly unless Github plays fair and opens the required APIs to the competition.
