This is an overly negative response to a genuine solution. There are a million reasons you shouldn't do X or Y.
More than likely GitHub would have to maintain their own internal wallet solution for this, which is a big engineering lift. But we're all just having a discussion.
Except it isn't. It is a lazy solution and impractical one
Great, so you even found one of the main issues, which pushes off the problem to a third party which makes it an impossible solution for anyone but GitHub (still a problematic "solution" though)
Yet it isn't because even as you noted it's not realistic to implement.
There's two types of lazy, and this is the kind that creates more work, not less
