There is not actually a need to choose between a single centralised monopoly and going full-on techno-prepper and running all your own services in your garage as an individual . We could have intermediate points, such as having services run by professionals but based on portable open standards.

git is a great portable standard. But if I were GitHub, I'd make damn sure I didn't have issues, actions, and the rest of it be based on something users could just yank out in a portable format and take elsewhere though. Portable VCS is simple. Portable anything with the integration everyone expects (issues connects to source which connects to builds which connects to releases) is hard. Git being so open and portable means it isn't a moat.
