Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. As a non Dev, I more or less assumed it was more pet projects and foss apps than business repos or projects.

I also felt like if projects are linked on a company or business website to bitbucket or codeberg, etc, it wouldn't matter because it's getting exposure that way. And also assuming a git repo basically functions the same way regardless of where it's hosted with some minor differences in tools.
