People who make products make these sort of tradeoffs all the time and the tradeoff is rarely something thats permanent. For the fast majority of people who need this kind of functionality (LFS), breaking forking is a inconvenience compared to the value being added.

I would completely agree with you if that was the way GitHub presented that feature, being open about the consequences of adopting it. They haven't done that, and as a result their customers are not properly informed on the trade-offs they are making.
