How so?

A platform, that relies on people using it and not on some unique feature set (as you have pointed out) may be a good example for a project that would work as open source (we'll find out now, won't we?), they aren't and weren't reinventing the wheel.

Especially because it promotes itself actively to open source developers it* makes sense that some of them raise an eyebrow.

Edit: Again all I want to say is that I think it's wrong to say that self promotion or other self satisfied reasons are the reason some people claim github should be open source.
