GitHub's argument isn't that you hosted your code on GitHub and therefore gave them a license to use it to train their model. GitHub's argument is they don't need a license to train their model because it's fair use. Hosting your code somewhere else doesn't prevent fair use. If you don't want your code used to train ML models, don't host it anywhere.

I was trying to zoom out from the unavoidable legal argumentative deadlock: if GH does not have your code hosted on their servers, it becomes way harder for 'them' to grab it and rape it. Your own domain is - of course - also out in the open, but at least you can have more control.
