Gitlab is like the SAP of git, something for bloated big corporations. I've never seen a single FOSS repo there.

Yeah, who's ever heard of this weird company named nvidia <https://gitlab.com/nvidia>, or inkscape <https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape>, or F-Droid <https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient>

In what world does nvidia fall under FOSS and not big corporation? That seems like an odd example to lead with.

FOSS and "big corporation" are not antonyms. Today, many of the largest FOSS contributors are big corporations.

I don't care much for gitlab either, but for example inkscape lives there

It seems somewhat popular for developers who want to avoid github. Gnome and KiCAD also use it.
