To be honest GitHub should have like a switch for "preview stuff adopter" where you guys could give any benefits for it (maybe more copilot usage?). This way you can test with a specific public, using metrics and feedback, while testing and people could comment more about it.

I would like this personally as I hate change in general, but from their perspective it's not a great test because the sample is far from random. They should still do it though

They do. And they tend to avoid using it, and/or ignore feedback if it's not in line with the direction that they actually want to go. :( :( :(
