External production systems depend on GitHub. For FB - it is fine to fail from time to time. Users will be even more productive :)

External production systems unfortunately depend on FB too as we've seen with all the iOS apps crashing due to issues with FB's iOS SDK.

Even more important, Github lives off fees paid by companies. They might switch to Gitlab or other competitors if availability remains an issue. Facebook lives off ads, as long as people visit FB, companies won't really take their ads somewhere else.
