I am surprised at how much github is willing to let themselves go for being a product that can nowadays be replaced by someone over the weekend. This is the second major outage within like 2 weeks.

Depends how much customization you've done to your cicd and how heavily you use custom GHA, and other plugins. No way my org could move off in a weekend.

Agreed... you could probably move a single project over pretty easily on a weekend, or several depending on how integrated you are.

for being a product that can nowadays be replaced by someone over the weekend.

If one person can move a company move off of GitHub in a weekend, you're too small a company for Microsoft to care about.

It was less about moving your company away and more about the core functionality being extremely simple to reproduce.
