That's a reasonable position to hold, but if the goal is FLOSS I'm not sure quasi-proprietary GitLab (the minute you go beyond the basic features in the free version) is much better than GitHub. Some folks have concerns around Copilot but in most corporate settings, employees are going to be using private repositories which are specifically excluded from the training corpus.
I think I'd have more respect for a company using SourceHut or Gitea if their priority was avoiding non-free services. I wouldn't personally filter a company on this basis (though I do have strong views on the operating system I'd have to use), but the demand for software engineers means it's quite possible and I respect folks for being principled.
