Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

Why aren't people moving away from Github?

I write open source software because it’s fun, and I publish on Github because it gives me a stronger professional profile.

So yeah for me it’s the potential difference between putting food on the table or not. Github stars suck for many reasons but they do help you stand out.
