Why does this feel like people are trying to turn this into some sort of gotcha? It wasn't even my main point. The point is that GitHub enterprise is not an option for individuals.
Original comment from you:

I never claimed it's "priced out for every single small team or individual user ever". You even quoted it right there:

I have 33 people on my personal Gitlab instance. It would cost me over $8k per year to run a Github Enterprise instance with that many users and I don't have the kind of money to do that. Until I can do that with Github for $0 then my point stands.
