Github will never be the only options there's always alternatives.
But none that compete properly with it. I'm not a good programmer but nearly every open sourced project I've used/accessed was on Guthub
Yeah but that's mostly network effects and free CI, which must cost them a ton of money. I'd be surprised if they're even profitable just because of that. I mean it's worth it for Microsoft clearly, but if they ever decide it isn't and turn the screws, there are at least two good alternatives - Gitlab and Codeberg.
I would also jump ship immediately if there was a platform that properly handled stacked PRs. I literally just want to be able to say "this PR includes this other PR - don't show that one". Is that too much to ask?
