But as expected [2] every month, there is an incident and something at GitHub breaks and goes down. Maybe GitHub is gradually falling apart.
It is that unreliable.

But sure, keep evangelizing and talking down to people who prefer it to self-hosting, I'm sure it will accomplish your goal.
When you cannot push your critical change to master on GitHub or run your GitHub Action, then it does grind work to a halt, as it has done with the many commenters here.

Centralizing everything to GitHub is much more riskier than self-hosting given the number of times GitHub has fallen over or had an 'incident'.

My point is self-proving every month and week that something in GitHub goes down or has an incident. I'll be expecting you to complain again once it falls over in a month's time at the latest.
It definitely does matter when GitHub goes down.
