I don't really understand why you'd host that on GitHub or any knockoffs at all
Probably because a lot of the free web hosting sites disappeared, and GitHub and knock-offs don’t place any requirements on licensing (unlike SourceForge, which requires you to use an OSI- or FSF-approved license and submit a project description for humans to review), so people abuse them as free hosting.
