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?

I suck at programming, and GH is easier to use. As I learn more, and gain some skill, I'll waste Codeberg's server space instead of Microsoft's

how ungodly massive are your repos that you'd be "wasting" a noticable amount of space?

I remember when I started on Linux and the open source world in general that the "Releases" button on Github was like an omnipresent being, you knew it was there but not where.

Probably it was just me being dumb but idk.
