I believe it's roughly a quote from Linus Torvalds, the creator of git who has many issues with githubs decisions. See https://www.wired.com/2012/05/torvalds-github/ for a start, his opinion hasn't improved over the decade.

His oppositions seems to be nitpicking and he says it is fine for hosting?

The issues with the way they handle commits is a fairly fundamental disagreement, one that ensures he will never use github for development without it being changed.

Ye well he says the web interface sucks and that "pull request" do too. Like, all their value add.

I have never tried Github's web interface but I guess not being able to write tab is the first thing that pissed Linus off.
