as far as i understood the implications on a quick read and since
their desired model is the current github model as a comparison, why
move from a closed source online service which provides free of charge
project hosting, given there are no license clashes - i.e. subsurface
will still remain GPL compliant?

if subsurface applies a new ideology in the lines of "we will not use
a closed source online service", then subsurface should stop using
github as well.

"The decision was engineering-driven, not business-driven"
if the above is true and unless they suddenly add some limitations for
a free project after the change, such as 10 max languages i don't see
the need to switch services.
