What makes you say that? Probably 95% of FOSS projects I see are still hosted on GH.
Maybe 95% of your FOSS projects aren't "free" enough ;o
They're not XD
I should clarify, self hosted Gits for projects that may fall under targeted harassment by corporations (Eaglercraft, Switch Emulators, etc...) are becoming popular.
Ryujinx, operating out of Brazil, couldn't be taken to court by Nintendo. So a lot of projects that could have Nintendo's eye of sauron on them are looking for a safe country and self hosting as guaranteed insurance from a Yuzu situation.
Lemmy is a bit of an echo chamber in that regard
Primary hosting, but they can always have a fallback for at-risk projects or even just use p2p. Of course that already increases the risk of a potentially hacked provider/repo or just fake/malware versions in the wild
