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?

A big issue though is that you can't move other people's projects for them. If I want to contribute to Immich, I have to be on GitHub. Cloning it somewhere the maintainers aren't looking or accepting contributions does nothing.
