Why do some people use GitLab instead of GitHub? GitHub is so much easier!

If they use something self-hosted like gitea or something I can understand and agree (even tho I still prefer GitHub - easier to follow, get updates, send issues, etcetera), but that’s not the case: it’s one centralized service for another.

(Now that I think about it, it’d be really nice to have some kind of federated decentralized git service. Kinda like ActivityPub, but for Git. So you could have a GitHub account and follow/star a project on GitLab, for example)
