I feel like the post has a narrow focus. Github is solving a quite heterogeneous problem for a diverse audience. People use Github and Git in completely different ways; so they have a spacebar heating issue. Their blame view, which half the post is about, I've rarely ever used. Likewise, some teams rebase during code review, others handle review outside, etc etc.
As for the Ctrl+F issue, I could see that rendering giant files with syntax highlighting can tank performance on older computers, and that they're trying to fix it for people who use Github (on web - remember), thinking that if you need full greppability, you might clone the repo locally.
I don't know, maybe Github is screwing everything up behind the scenes, but this post doesn't make a compelling argument in my view.
