Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

I think part of the problem is Microslop's Github Copilot in the web, which makes it possible for non developers to quickly and easily create PRs without understanding a single thing about programming, let alone software development.

It wouldn't surprise me of people genuinely think they are helping.
