Eh, they provide a useful service. I wouldn't want to run my own git server.

Honest question, why not?

Its not like that's something that will scale infinitely, you only have so many devs and so many repos to work on, also it's not like it's hard to backup the data, actually, you can bet that you will have a updated copy of every repo on someone's machine if things really go south.

Of all things we can outsource in our infra, git seems one of the least necessary.

Git vaults do a lot more than host remote git repos. Gitlab and github are valuable for everything else they do - the UI, PR management, issue tracking, CI, and so forth.

You don't have to though, that's what makes it so great. Just push with ssh to a directory under /var/www and you're good to go.
