Ah, ok. according to https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ :

1) github has a services contract with ICE?

2) github is proprietary software

3) github discredits copyleft?

4) github is owned by microsoft

1) is the only one above that I can really find motivating. The others 2) and 4) are pretty much "well duh, it's a modern website" while 3) might be plausible but smells of conspiracy theory. TBH, I default to permissive licences wherever possible so maybe I'm just not the target audience.
