Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source (lemmy.today)

Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

One thing that keeps me from using codeberg more is that private repos are limited to 100MB. So I still need to use GitHub to keep some of my personal projects that contain purchased assets that can't be made public. I do still have a codeberg account and mirror what I can, but it means I can't stop using GitHub for now.

For private repos you could always host your own Forgejo. That way they're actually private, too, not that Codeberg is untrustworthy, but not needing to trust anyone is even better.

Oh wow I did not realize there a limit. Is that per project? Maybe that was a limit initially? I've cloned a couple repos but I guess I've not checked size.
