A huge advantage of GH / CF is that your site has a strong chance of outliving you, if that's something you care about.
If you're self hosting, either at home or on a VPS, you have to worry about domains expiring and credit cards being cancelled, which is inevitably going to happen if you don't have a succession plan in place. You could probably solve it with a bunch of lawyering, but that's expensive.
Free services don't have this problem. They can still go away, it's not a 100% guarantee, but it's a "might" versus a "definitely will"

These days GH and CF are giants that are synonymous for code storage and the domain resolution respectively. So it’s rather unlikely that these household names of the internet will go down the drain in the next decade.
