That's my point. If a company can release something without being on the hook for it, that's awesome. It encourages them to release half-baked stuff alongside their platinum stuff which is something I desire far more than having them only release stuff that's full-baked.
Simply put, I prioritize more software way more than I prioritize officialness etc.
But github despises its own 2 founders. As it grew, culture changed and founders became enemies. So it became better to write a new tool rather that cooperating with some people.
Hub has been in development since 2009, for sure the gh team could had cooperated.
Edit: found a note in their readme on github: https://github.com/cli/cli#comparison-with-hub
