You aren't the customers in this situation. For every 10,000 of you who don't pay even pay GitHub the $7/mo for a subscription, there's a 3000-seat behemoth who pays $70k/mo for a GitHub Enterprise license.

You're principled minnows to that one profitable shark.

These companies understand profit, and that's where they derive their morality. I'd say it's probably more accurate that most US companies simply don't share your morals, not that they don't have morals at all.

Follow the money. This is a much more useful lens to analyze the situation than to consider the left/right political spectrum.
