“Organizations” didn't exist until GitHub was already popular and entrenched, and it got popular and entrenched by centering the person developing the code instead of the code that was being developed: https://github.blog/news-insights/introducing-organizations/

And they weren't free until 2020: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github...

2010 is pretty early as far as GitHub history goes. Organizations were free, what wasn’t free was private repositories (but that applied to personal accounts too).
