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.

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.
