Atom usage dropped off dramatically in favour of VS Code or the fully open source VS Codium, there's no point in Github writing it's own code editor when it's hosting a much more popular, more powerful, and equally open source editor in one of its repos.

Github had been funding development of Atom until MS bought them, put Atom on maintenance mode for 4 years, then killed it.
