> Based on the comments, many have known since 2018. GitHub has made multiple statements about it.

And many more haven't known. It wouldn't be sitting on the front page with 1300+ upvotes otherwise. This is, effectively, not some ho-hum old news -- even if it was for you. And that's what so many are complaining about. The hypocrisy of violating POLA so blatantly and then shrugging it off, pointing to some explanation buried in the docs that they know damn well most people won't read, and saying "Hey the info is right there, on you if you didn't RTFM".
