The problem is not him losing access to his code. He actually probably wouldn't as he likely has a local copy. The problem is that much of the open source infrastructure now relies on github repos, npm repos (which are now owned by github btw), and so on corporate resources. And those can apparently be completely wiped off the internet because somebody made a random offhand comment somewhere. Avoiding github and similar repositories would require pretty much giving up all modern open source infrastructure - or taking extraordinary measures of keeping a local mirror of every single repository you've ever used and every dependency of those and of the software running those. This is not a normal situation. I understand when a corporation needs some CYA policy to avoid charges of "hostile environment" or whatever. But for whole open source development world be the hostage of these policies is not a normal situation. We need separation of corporate PC and technology, otherwise it ends in a lot of trouble for everybody.
