Embracing and "extending" for proprietary vendor lock-in isn't a novel strategy. The fortresses and kingdoms they're trying to 'herd' people into have abusive monarchs. Nothing is free (gratis), so pursue Software Freedom instead.
I've used them all since the CVS days; Git is OK, but some companies try to build proprietary palaces on top of it (GitLab included)
Summary: Reminder that any time you tell developers and projects to delete GitHub (and use something free, instead) you are helping Software Freedom, even if users and development groups are hesistant and apprehensive, unwilling to leave, certainly at first (Stockholm Syndrome)
