Former Gitea (Gogs) contributor here. I see your point and you're not really wrong but it's not that easy either:
- GitHub has way more features. More features means more scattered data (e.g. different micro-services databases, file storage).
- You cannot use Gitea in an organization with hundreds or thousands of engineers. It provides nether the features nor the scalability you need. I like Gitea but I'm happy that my company uses GitHub.
- Individuals and open-source use GitHub because it's free and has all the features (including stuff like free CI/CD which is expensive). This is all being paid for by companies like mine who buy expensive enterprise licenses for thousands of engineers.
- It's not uncommon to shard by customer/account, even in the cloud and GitHub is actually trying to do this right now for their primary database. Doesn't solve the problem with different storages for different micro-services though.
