The issue is more that p2p is always touted as the solution and yet there's been almost zero actually useful solutions developed. There's some fundamental issues preventing the decentralized network to be a generic solution and until that's sorted out, it doesn't seem to add to a conversation to bring up p2p as a solution.

You can tell when a decentralised technology becomes successful, because then someone will build something centralised on top of it.

Git seems to work pretty well p2p without the hub.

If you don't need to collaborate with people sure it does. Everything works well until you need to collaborate.

There are numerous collaboration tools aside from Github that can be used, though.

If the project, company, or specific person you want to work with is using Github, you're using Github.

There are multiple useful solutions. They are just ignored.

Notice you didn't mention any fundamental issue specifically.

The issues clearly aren't fundamental enough to stop software pirates or the Onion network.
