Yes. I 100% understand why GitHub (and now Microsoft, as well as every other platform) is incentivized to be evil. FWIW, I'd even pay for the CNAME support, as they are then a hosting company, but I also understand why they make more money in aggregate off of all of the locked-in users than they would from the random people who would pay for it to not be evil. I will say: my conclusion is that no one should ever be using GitHub.
