Debatable. As a previous paid customer, I have never been a fan of GitLab, I've always found it slow, buggy and of confusing design language. YMMV.

I think what was meant is that at least parts of GitLab are FOSS and can be installed locally which in not the case with github.

But installable locally kinda defeats the whole point of this move? And as someone who manages a small gitlab instance, it's not always set it and forget it unfortunately.

No, it doesn't because Gitlab.com exists. Installability is an insurance policy.
