Honestly, doesn't surprise me much. Homebrew, the most popular package manager/repository for macOS, basically lives on GitHub and bases everything on top of it. Over the years, I think there been times when they've actually brought down GitHub (or close to at least).
Most folks seem fine with it, at least it still lives on like normal as far as I know. I think engineering principles flew out the window a long time ago, all people care about now is shipping as fast as they possibly can.
Your observation about shipping fast to build an MVP house of cards is true. However, Homebrew is a free package manager, that likely relies on GitHub due to cheap or free storage for a free tool.
My assumption is that lovable is not free, so using a cheap or free service while it is taking money from their customers fits squarely into the categorization of poor engineering and possibly incompetence.
