Hold on. GitHub has become too much of a monopoly? And this is somehow fixed by being acquired by Microsoft?

Yes because at least MS's competitors will take their code elsewhere, and F/OSS will hate to depend on MS services, no matter what.

Well, at least you're right about code moving away from GitHub - spreading the code around to multiple services can at least in theory make it more resilient to any one service failure / takeover.
