Their service is hosting code, not writing code.

That's why it's GitHub, not CodeScribe ( or something)

It’s definitely more than just hosting code - GitHub offers issue/PR management, light weight project management, an online IDE for collaborative editing and CI services at least. Arguing that GitHub provides services that aim to improve developer/development team productivity is not a stretch. And arguing that ML-assisted development support is part of that definition isn’t particularly far out either.

They're also allowed to add new services anytime they'd like.
