Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.
Why GitHub? If they truly cared about open-source they would've chosen something else, such as a self-hosted Forgejo [1], or its most common public instance Codeberg [2]. [1] https://forgejo.org/ [2] https://codeberg.org/
Probably only for visibility. Or MS is in the process of sponsoring them.

Care to explain?
Sure, there would be local copies everywhere, but for a distribution version control system, it's pretty centralized at GitHub

Everything surrounding code: issues, CICD, etc, is obviously another story. But it's not a story that is answered by distributed git either. (though I would love a good issue tracking system that is done entirely inside git)

To be fair, Git itself is a bit of a pain, and GitHub's main achievement is/was to make it somewhat bearable.
Everything is fully and completely explained, in terms which mean nothing.

Think you might be on something, with the incoming end of Google cash flow, Firefox may be in discussion with bing and that could be part of the agreement, use Microsoft server.
