Exactly, in 2014, Github has tons of clones. Lots more sites have reduced visual clutter nice user flows and allow for social interaction. Both in VCS and in general, what Github is doing is not innovative. In that context, yeah this seems pretty dumb. Github was the first VCS hosting service that took design seriously and kept clutter and bullshit off of all of these different pages (or provided them all). They were the first VCS hosting that realized the power of social interactions around code, before every app under the sun had a social timeline.
