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?

As someone else already mentioned, familarity. You published a repo of your foss project so other people can contribute to it and the more the merrier. Most people happen to be on github.

    I think Microsoft learned their lesson finally on fucking up acquisitions (talking Mixer especially lol) where they buy out a platform but then curse it with their touch and it fails. Now, with LinkedIn and Github, they sort of leave it be with subtle and incremental changes because then petiole continue to adopt it. Now its like FB or Snapchat where people are there bc they think everyone else is there (assuming). Idk, it sucks.
