Perhaps I am a bit cynical, but why do you say Github "exist[ed] solely to provide a service to entire developer community"? They made money too.

I'll believe they changed when I see it. Pretty sure it's not going to any time soon.

Typical Silicon Valley libertarianism - trying to solve critical policy issues with a new app instead of fixing the root cause.
