There are three groups within GitHub, and this article is about the issues faced by the first - big open source projects (a small number).

The main bread and butter of GitHub is from private or organizational projects and do not have these issues

The majority of accounts on GitHub are folks like the majority of HN readers - developers, coders, hackers and do not have these issues.

So all these complaints are in a sense not applicable to the vast majority of both GitHubs revenue generating customers and the vast majority of GitHub users.
