Another point is that Firstly Github shouldn't take a harder stance but considering its microsoft and even if One might argue that Github does take in this case and it actually does.

This would really end up doing not much because buying a domain name and such hosting should be easy.

There are some service providers who will only comply in things if you provide if and only a legal complaint which is genuine and valid (like a court order) and I think no Court can order for something like this because I feel like there is / must be a legal backing for genuinely writing "this tool is for educational/research purposes" and its actually so, so I don't really understand if github's stance would even matter in the end because if you need to get court order to remove it in the end, then github will comply it with it as well (even more so than those providers even)

I don't understand what the OP wants, like should this be obscure in some tor .onion forum for hackers or should this be on github so that people can read about this and learn abotu this vector and patch up in their servers where they may have thought it was safe but they didn't know about this issue exists in the first place! (because a hacker might still use obscure persons but a sysadmin might not comparatively)
