There is plenty of solutions that are keeping the data in-house. Or allow for easy exporting/importing (github is not too bad in this regard though). None of these solutions go against the "highly specialized division of labor". This is a question about what kind of solutions we build, not how labor is divided or not.

None of those solutions are as plug-and-play as hosted GitHub/GitLab, nor without maintenance costs. Those add up to quite a bit of money too, usually making hosted the more cost effective option. Although this can happen, the truth is 99% of the time it doesn't, so most companies continue to use hosted solutions as it is far more likely they go bankrupt due to poor business rather than US embargos.
