Just that git (w/o the central hosting/PR concept/issues) is the total opposite than proprietary, and despite the popularity of the social network GitHub (because that what it is) the market for hosting git repos is very active. Look at Gitlab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, AWS, ... which are all just fine.

I agree however with the fact that it is a pity to rely on a single tech which is not even the best of breed.

Another way to host Git code using 100% FOSS software is with https://sourcehut.org/ and of course it’s possible to host your own GitLab community edition server as per https://about.gitlab.com/install/

Sourcehut supports mercurial, too!

The UI is a hot mess though. Every time I try out their Mercurial site (it's actually a separate site, not just a feature of the main site) I always somehow end up on the Git part of the site and there's no obvious way back.

Moreover, SourceHut also is the only system that supports[1] both FreeBSD and OpenBSD as CI platforms. NetBSD is coming soon too.
