And for most companies, building and managing an SCM is absolutely not their core competency. Your point is valid, but not in the way you're trying to convey it.

Building their software is - Github being down is currently preventing that for many companies.

Nope, sorry. Github offers cloud and on premise offerings. If you choose cloud and your company can't handle a 45 minute service outage, that's just a bad purchasing decision. You do realize they make most of their revenue from on premise enterprise customers and that none of those customers were impacted? The solution was there the entire time but they can't force people to use it.

It's surreal to imagine most companies not being able to handle a 45-min service outage of a VCS to begin with. Sounds to me like a GitHub mandated break for all SE 's.
