I don't think this is entirely the case. Even though many people would 
migrate to gitlab or other services, countless projects that are no 
longer being maintained or not very active would be lost.

Most logical to me is that they have long term to kill Github just

like Google does with various competitive companies, please see

Killing GitHub would actually help Free Software, because then most

Free Software projects on there would migrate to GitLab and other

more free git hosting platforms. That already happened to a smaller

extent when Microsoft bought GitHub; there was a noticeable exodus.

So in fact the purchase has already helped Free Software :-)
