Abandon git, return to subversion.
This post has nothing to do with git. but you answered OPs question and as other commenters pointed out. this is why people stay on github, because theybthink its git
I think the open source requirement is holding them back, people also want to start projects without immediately making them open source. Maybe they don't know it yet.
These people, if they want to avoid github, will host their own private gitlab instance, or use just a local git repo, or another private repo, until they decide to make it public.
I think this makes a big contribution the disparity.
To add, I think it's fine, as long as anyone can clone the github. It's not like I have any solution to this.
