To the people who say "GitHub for public projects, gitea (or whatever) for private projects," can I ask why?

If you're using GitHub for your public projects, why not just use GitHub period? Genuine question here.

I did for many years, now I just feel a sense of revulsion to the AI AI AI marketing. Apparently they don't train on private code, so perhaps that feeling isn't logical, but it remains for me regardless.

To speculate, a lot of devs seem to have a 'not GitHub? Ew..' attitude. Having used the top 4 forges professionally (BB, GL, GH, AZD) I am the opposite, so I run Forgejo at home. I don't have public projects though.
