Not everything has to run by capitalist rules, least of all open source (which Git is). We live in a society and subsets of that society can set up their own rules, and are.
It's more a matter of the mechanics of it all, and that part is indeed interesting. However, venture capital is not the final arbiter, any more than Microsoft is.
FWIW, I have not bailed on Github and have no specific plans to. What I'll do, is back up all my repositories to physical read-only media just in case of ridiculous catastrophic scenarios: under normal circumstances, even if Github's plug got suddenly pulled as a big gotcha to open source, my local repositories would not be deleted. If I have local git repositories, I can put them elsewhere.
