GitHub is pretty easily the most unreliable service I've used in the past five years. Is GitLab better in this regard? At this point my trust in GitHub is essentially zero - they don't deserve my money any longer.

SSH also down
SSH is as decentralized as git - just push to your own server? No problem.
Well you can with some effort. But there's certainly some inconvenience.
Our git server is hosted by Atlassian. I think we've had one outage in several years?
Our self hosted Jenkins setup is similarly robust, we've had a handful of hours of "Can't build" in again, several years.
We are not a company made up of rockstars. We are not especially competent at infrastructure. None of the dev teams have ever had to care about our infrastructure (occasionally we read a wiki or ask someone a question).
You don't have to live in this broken world. It's pretty easy not to. We had self hosted Mercurial and jenkins before we were bought by the megacorp, and the megacorp's version was even better and more reliable.
Self host. Stop pretending that ignoring complexity is somehow better.
A lot of failures lately during the aI ReVoLuTiOn.

Microsoft is also convinced that its works are a net benefit for humanity, so I would take that with a grain of salt.
I think it would be pretty hard to argue against that point of view, at least thus far. If DOS/Windows hadn't become the dominant OS someone would have, and a whole generation of engineers cut their teeth on their parents' windows PCs.
Your second point is a little disingenuous. Yes, Microsoft and Windows have been wildly successful from a cultural adoption standpoint. But that's not the point I was trying to argue.

Good thing git was designed as a decentralized revision control system, so you don’t really need GitHub. It’s just a nice convenience
