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.
And in the end, since it's open source, it's up to me whether I derive value from it.
