Self-hosting on a reliable VPS is already $5+ per month. Github/Gitlab could easily undercut that. And frankly, users should start getting used to paying for software, at least it's better than having your data sold out. I'd be willing to pay $2/month to keep all my repos online.

> Gitlab could easily undercut that

Of course Gitlab also got rid of the $4 tier last year, making their cheapest price point $19/month/user. If that was still around restrictions on the free tier would seem a lot more reasonable, although I think deleting abandoned stuff is fundamentally bad.

Package managers will produce an SBOM for you, the tough part is keeping track of licenses and CVEs. TideLift and BlackDuck (now called something else) work just fine as third party solutions you can run on your self-hosted stuff though.
