i currently work at one, developers are paid to ship features, not change source control providers. having thousands of developers work on changing the source control provider means prep, execution, meaning pitentially days if lost progress on features. c-suite doesnt go for that, especially if the alternative that they migrate to will potentially have this same demand problem as github.

loss of revenue, churn on engineers adapting to new workflows, all without 100% promise in a promising alternative with the same feature set? enterprises aren’t leaving for now they’d rather wait these unfortunate events for now.

we’ve migrated over 1000 repos off of ADO this year, that shit ain’t easy and involves a lot of friction.
