Why? "Because everybody else does" is the most common excuse. Microsoft could be physically rawdogging people's fathers and it wouldn't matter. Belong to the "in" crowd is what matters for most people. Can't forget "idgaf" either.

You could be the most hard-left, anti-capitalist, anarchist person on the planet and still host your project on Github. In fact there are such people on Github.

Until an alternative becomes popular, early adopters of forgejo, sourcehut, radicle, and others have to proselytise their platforms. Things just don't change otherwise.
