Github also does it for their logout button for good reason. Is that a dark evil pattern to keep you logged in to their ecosystem? Or just something someone would say who doesn't understand it?

I trust Github. If it were up to me, I'd remove the logout confirmation from Github but having it there doesn't particularly bother me.

When Facebook does it, I do have a problem with it because I don't think their motives are as pure.
