because they are free to do so.
If pornhub would offer a git server with more features than github and
gitlab, people would probably start to use it, too. Free people in a
free world are free to use whatever they like to, even if you think that
the service they like to use is not free or is not your taste or
whatever else.

If you don't like it, clone it, push it, mirror it. You are free to do so.

But please stop telling other people what they are supposed to do or not.

Git is like your favorite car. You can buy one from VW with
maybe-broken-software, it will serve you well until it dies.
Or you can build your own "free" car, it will serve you well until it dies.

Would you like it that various people tell you not to drive your lovely
VW because it is not free?
