It's not too weird a position that some people are mistrustful of Microsoft and use other version control solutions, but want to be able to take advantage of these new classes of tools where they help. Personally, yes, I do host with Github, bit previously that was a very well-defined boundary - only what I deliberately committed and pushed went to them. Now, it's potentially anything in my editor, so I make sure to use another program for scratch files. I probably don't have anything I'd really care about them getting their hands on, but still, it's better not to get in a bad habit and then slip up someday, pasting in private or sensitive details without thinking. If I can eliminate that as a potential source of mistakes, so much the better.
