MODERATORS
This is mostly due to inertia and, to an extent, SEO.
Most people use github because it's all they know and its name is almost synonymous with git hosting. Publishing elsewhere leads to people asking you why you're not on github, how else can we contribute, etc. Moreover, github seems to score better on Google SEO than other platforms.
