git != github, though. An ALM solution is not the same as of a VCS.

Git does not offer out of the box any issue tracking, CI pipelines, discoverability of branches and code review UI, etc. All things which are highly desirable by most software projects out there, open source or not. The fact that your code is hosted in a safe environment, it's easy to search across repositories, etc. is something many people are willing to pay for (either in money, or in liberty, as often is the case).
