So, let's just assume for a second that the author's comments are all completely correct. Then it's still not a good analysis, since it doesn't say at all how these rules came to be and what they try to achieve. I don't think Github's management is so broken that they would F up their core users' businesses for no reason.

It is important to understand it from a progressive point of view, since any compromise would also require Github's needs to be fulfilled at least to some degree. It would also help understand that the author may actually be wrong in his assessment. And last but not least you're just painting half a picture if you just mention your own arguments. Makes your arguments way less convincing.
