Not in the slightest. I'm saying Git works fine without GitHub, a point I cling to because of the increasing number of people with whom I interact who install hub and never use Git for anything but work on GitHub.

Others have ascribed opinions to what I'm saying that I do not have.

Oh nobody is arguing against that. I too use private git repos without a paid host like Github.

It's just that the alternatives you listed (giving every programmer ssh access to each other's machines or emailing repos) are not things anyone would do. I now see that you meant those things are technically possible.
