Facebook is a social media app that hardly anyone (except for advertisers) pays for.

GitHub is an enterprise product crucial to tons of businesses.

Cultural comparisons between the two really shouldn't apply.

Aren't both companies potentially loosing money when their products don't work? The fact that it's crucial to businesses seems to be the client perspective, not the company perspective. It could also seen as critical for some businesses to advertise on Facebook. This could call for a different culture internally but I'm not convinced this is necessarily the case.
