The bottom line is that it is cheaper to use GitHub and live with the external risks than to maintain internal services or live without them.

I note that the Linux kernel lived with bare Git for many years.

At least for small to medium organizations without specific reasons for self-hosting. Once you have a team that manages internal infrastructure, this calculus can change.

The Linux kernel is a very specific case with a very specific development model that likely doesn’t apply to most other projects.
