I am confused by this sentiment. Wouldn't moving to another product (like bitbucket or gitlab) put you in the same boat (since they also offer free private repositories)?

GitLab's free private repos have the same feature set as their public ones. Not so with GitHub's, and this blog post hides that fact.

Not quite.
https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/
The free tier is the functionality you get for private repos. Public (not internal) repos get Gold capabilities.
Runner limits can be eliminated if you host your own runner to hook in to.
The above is specifically for GitLab.com hosting. Self-hosted is a different story with features.

Thanks for sharing this detail with everyone.
Complete opposite. I'm going to stop using it as much as I can.
This is quite annoying. I'd much rather they take my pittance than monetize me any other way.
