Dunno why people insist on the "give nothing" part.
The community has given a lot to GitLab. Every project that moved there had a network effect of bringing people over. So many have contributed to GitLab itself, both patches, bug reports, feedback, etc.
And lots of devs have advocated at their place of work for a "let's move to something more open that GitHub" and moved entire organisations onto GitLab (I've seen this at multiple places of work).
Not to mention that GitLab itself is built atop countless hours of work put into the libraries and foundations it uses.
The open source ecosystem is a community where most parties are contributing and consuming what others contribute. It's ridiculous to portray GitLab as a "received nothing" entity.
