Git was designed specifically so people could work independently and not have to rely on a server. GitHub is not git. GitHub is an attempt to control the marketplace for code and exploit the network effects to lock people in and control them. It's facebook and linkedn for programmers. We never needed that and many of us never wanted that.
You can do distributed development with git without any centralised infrastructure. It's what it was made for.
It was enshittified into that. A decade ago, it was a perfectly fine option for people that wanted a more convenient, hassle-free way to share and collaborate on code
