This has been the case always. Remember when SourceForge would inject adware into the installers? It's just a fact that when you're using a thirdparty's server to host your stuff, you cannot completely control what you're hosting. You're at the mercy of the thirdparty.
It's no excuse for GitHub deleting something you took the time and effort to write and share with the world for free. But with enshittification and all, I don't know if we can ever expect fair treatment anymore.
For total control you're going to need to host stuff on your server or put everything like issues, pr comments, wiki into your Git repo. Fossil does it. But git doesn't, at least not yet.
