Similarly, I "took over" https://github.com/tasuki by simply messaging the customer support. They said it wasn't being used and I could have it.

The difference is that this is a documented GitHub policy [0]. I’ve done the same for a handle that didn’t have any activity in its entire history. AFAIK neither Instagram nor Twitter have similar policies (though I somewhat wish they did).
