how centeralised GitHub

It's a pointless and irrelevant remark. Mozilla uses Git to track work on Firefox. GitHub provides Git repositories. I can clone Firefox out of GitHub, create an account on GitLab/Bitbucket, push the code there, and GitHub does not feature as a concern at all.

What point can you possibly think you're able to make regarding GitHub?

GitHub is enshittifying everything that has to do with Git.

Nonsense. Speaking as someone who actually hosts the same projects on GitHub and other version control providers, GitHub does not even feature as an implementation detail.

I'm starting to think you're just trolling.

You should care.

I do my best to not waste my time with irrelevant nonsense. It's silly to believe that the version control system you use has any influence on the quality of the software you deliver.
