It's trivial if your project is trivial. Once you've got development/CI/CD workflows, releases, issue management, community interaction, maybe even project management or Github pages (may god have mercy on your soul), it gets a lot less trivial.
Git itself is a distributed version control system, moving it around is indeed trivial. It's everything else that Github provides that is far less trivial, and they've worked hard on building the vendor lock-in elements for those things lately.
True, but there are also exporter scripts for that stuff. Many projects have also mirroring already set up.
