Did the article somehow suggest GitHub.com might expire?

No, the article suggested that when hosting a Go package on your private domain that domain might expire. However, most Go packages are published as the module name being github.com/author/packagename, in which case domain expiry is not a problem, but you need to keep a hold of the account.

The risk with GitHub is more likely that the source account of the library would be removed for any of a hundred reasons.
