I maintain a popular OSS project which code is hosted on Github [1].
The entire "Github doesn't give back" argument is wrong. For "free", Github lets me host our code, run thousands and thousands of hours of free CI (and we are aggressively using it), host releases and docker images, and lets us manage thousands of issues. Also, Copilot is free when you are eligible to it, so we are fortunate enough to not have to pay for it as well.
Yes, they monetize our attention and train Copilot with the code, but the only argument which can't be used against this company is that they don't give back.
