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?

I would be willing to bet it's for the same reason there aren't more people using GNU/Linux instead of macOS/Windows. Habits and fear of not doing like everyone else is doing.
