Free private repositories, Github Actions, and Github Packages are all pretty useful though. All of those were added under Microsoft’s ownership. Actions got a head start because it was built on top of Azure DevOps infra that Microsoft had already created.

Plenty of open-source projects that I use are happy with them though. I see far fewer projects using Travis CI and AppVeyor these days for example.

Free private repos were always available on Bitbucket (for example) before that though. The things added by Microsoft were all catch-up.

They lose money from it (people that used to pay for an account to get private repos no longer need to) which is why Github didn’t do it when they were independent.
