Being barebones is a part of the selling point for an eXtensible platform though. ejabberd came with really good defaults, and Prosody only a little painful (though most of that could be chalked up to DNS being a pain + Nginx behaving unexp

But you can use your XMPP server to deliver notifications from Element via UnifiedPush because push is XMPP’s nature.

The author might also be using this a stop-gap until a FOSS licences comes out with similar terms, but don't want to make the current license nonfree because that has different complications.

*.code-workspace .github/ .vscode/ in your .gitignore is another way to express that you don’t want Microsoft as a part of your project.

There’s also the swath of non-Git DVCS options like Fossil, Mercurial, darcs, Pijul, et. al. and they have their own forge hosting options.
