This is exactly why anti-trust legislation needs to be extended to cover network effect platforms. A permanent ban from GitHub or LinkedIn has a non-negligible effect on career progression.

That actually seems like something that can hypothetically still be solved by the free market.
If there are competent employees that are not finding good jobs because they are not on GH/LI, then that is a market opportunity for people to start hiring people who explicitly don't have those things.

This is the same argument that was used to try and clamp down on anti discrimination legislation.
The idea being that since it was "economically irrational" to discriminate on the basis of skin color, the "free market" could therefore take care of it, therefore legislation was unnecessary.

The free market can remain irrational longer than a person can survive without an economic safety net.
