This is an odd comment. Xamarin has never been relevant. GitHub is historically OSS focused. Xamarin was some weird niche product for Windows devs. Hardly any overlap with GitHub’s core audience. I don’t know what will happen next, but hodgepodge of weird MS tech isn’t the lens to view this through.

Didn't the Xamarin guy became the CEO of GitHub at one point?

One of them, yes.

Miguel never did, and is now focused on Swift and Apple.

There was only ever one Xamarin CEO, Nat. Miguel was CTO

Yes, and that was an incredibly odd decision.
