You can run Github on prem using Github Enterprise [1]. However, that follows a subscription model and Github can potentially terminate it at any time.
Gitlab has an open source version [2], which means that preferring Gitlab over Github prevents giving more control of the project's direction to another entity. ( Not speaking on behalf of GNOME of course, just remarking that it is a good thing that free software projects are preferring Gitlab over Github )

Also you are not allowed to use GitHub Enterprise in the "public facing internet" without "Private Mode" which means only people with an account on the system can access that.
