Plastic analogy - adding "127.0.0.1 github.com" to your /etc/hosts
file shows that developer cannot bring most of the today's (PHP)
projects to any working state without using it. That's what is meant
by inevitable because everything open source today is either on GitHub
and some minor ones scattered around custom Git repos and other Git
hosting providers. PHP is already using GitHub. Is it moving to
something else? No, so let's not complicate things more with other
hosting providers now.

USA political issues and embargo on some countries are indeed a reason
I'm also willing to accept that PHP won't be using GitHub otherwise.
For other reasons presented here, none is  convincing enough to me
honestly.
