I'm guessing the parent doesn't mean only bower, but bower uses github as the source of packages/code (I don't use bower, so I'm only going from memory). On a build that downloads everything 'fresh' it's not going to be able to get sources that are only on github.

Bower certainly isn't the only thing that does it. It's a trend that's becoming more and more common.

I was in a go tutorial a couple of years ago where the presenter was including directly from github.

And sitting in a ruby talk when the rubygems compromise happened just after everyone had been told to go upgrade a gem because of flaws in a specific gem.

It's not unique, but it is terrible.
