>overwhelmingly the usage of Git is through GitHub. Everything else is practically a rounding error

Is that true? I used git commercially in five companies, and I never used github commercially (except as a platform for projects we opensourced).

You already depend on github if you host your project there. But you're not locked in, because you can just close your github repo and migrate somewhere else. Do I miss something?

If you used LFS, you have to fork and rewrite your repository to update the .lfsconfig backend URLs to get back to a reasonable working state.
