"Most people use GitHub and features for free"

Do you have a source for that factoid? (I suspect the vast majority of Github resource usage is paid. And we are upset.)

That sounds unusual for a free platform (not a limited trial but an actual free tier). Isn't it usually the case that only some small percentage can be convinced to pay?

They're arguing that most usage of resources would be by companies, who are presumably paying.

I don't think my employer pays for our use of Github. Edit: but, then, perhaps that's why my view is tainted. Point taken!
