Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

I have two main reasons (one to do with Codeberg and the other "something open source" in general): I have some repos that are either private or aren't open source, Codeberg requires that everything be under a free/libre or open source license (and private repos are only allowed in certain circumstances). Regarding "something open source" I don't currently self-host anything so I rely on others hosting and I haven't found one that meets most of my requirements.

OK but in the non open source instance, that's fine. I'm more so calling on a lot of these non profits, foundations, or other orgs preaching OSS and open internet, yet use GH. They have a lot of influence and are well known, which could hello addition to other platforms.
