It's because the original comment only complained about Github, without adding to the discussion of the link.
The other Github bashing didn't even make sense. Github offering personal websites doesn't expose them to any more risk of bandwidth issues. Someone can already make a public repository full of 50MB files that can be downloaded by anyone. Having a lightweight interface that lets you display HTML files in your repository doesn't change that.

It didn't complain about github. It raised an interesting discussion about github's business model. But you're right: it was not adding to the discussion of the link.
