I think merge vs pull is a different development workflow, which might appeal different organizations, tbh I never liked much the need of forking the entire repository to be able to contribute. Gerrit also doesn't require you to fork the repo first. Anyway, from my perspective that's s feature that GL provides vs GH, not just marketing.
