Let’s be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn’t switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven’t yet. Why?

I’d have to assume they mean the features of Github like pull requests, issue tracking, wikis, etc that aren’t part of the git
All of those features are very poorly implemented by GitHub. There are many other platforms which do a better job and can integrate with git.
And can integrate with git? Examples?
I haven’t found a platform that handles issues integrated with git (as a technology) except, maybe,
git-bug.The wiki concept is simple; an external repo that’s a static site generator. All GitHub’s wiki happens to be is a fancy UI around Gollum wiki.
The protected branches and other git hooks are definitely part of the git-hooks feature that ship with the software.
Honestly, the full integration and friendliness to self-hosting had me seriously looking at Fossil, until I saw some opinions I couldn’t get on board with (e.g., automatically pushing to/pulling from remote on every commit)
Gitea, loads of Atlassian products like Jira and Confluence, Reviewable, Gerrit, Jenkins - and that’s just off the top of my head while I type.
