This is, I think, a legitimate reason to use github (although I personally think you'd be much better off really forcing yourself to use and grok git). But it would be better for the rest of us if, despite not using git, github made it look exactly like you were using git. But that's not quite the case - quite a bit of git's functionality is missing (cherry-pick), and other bits are replaced with non-compatible pieces (PRs vs am+send-mail, which provide the exact same functionality, but can't talk to each other). As things are, collaborating with you on a project would require me to use github's interface. Or in reverse, if you wanted to collaborate with me on a project, you'd have to use raw git. If github supported foreign clones and PRs (via send-email and friends), it would seem much less "trapping".
