Why? Github enterprise offers exactly that. An "On premises" Github.

Gitlab Enterprise pricing starts at $39/user whereas Github Enterprise pricing starts at $250/user so from that perspective Gitlab kicks ass.

where did you see GHE asks for $250/user? seems the most expensive package is $21 [1].

From this page: https://enterprise.github.com/features

$21 is per-month. Per-year that works out to $250/user. If we're going by the month, GitLab's pricing is $3.25/user.

$21/user/month billed annually in packs of 10 (what your source says) would be $252/user/year in $2520 increments. It's actually (per the GHE features page) $2500/year for each 10 user pack though, which is $250/user/year.

GitLab Enterprise Starter is $39/user/year, and GitLab Enterprise Premium is $199/user/year.
