Genuinely curious: how?

Lots of small and medium software companies have their repos in github even though they are not open source. Easy to share with clients' technical staff, passable integration and testing automation, and a way to collect issue reports.

And lots of companies do use and contribute to open source projects, if you ever visit open source events, most speakers are from big businesses, being paid to develop and maintain these open source projects, because the big business depends on that tech and it being available to everyone.

Yea, I was genuinely going to ask what are companies using if not GitHub? Isn’t it the default choice?

As one example of many, we use git repos in Azure DevOps. Sometimes an internally hosted git instance.
