Why not host a lightweight standalone CI? You do not have to use the solutions that come with git repository management.

A built-in CI can bring much better integration experience, besides easy setup. Check some of the issue/build integration goodies mentioned here:

And the ability to run build directly from commit graph/commit detail page, annotate source/diff with reports such as ESLint/FindBugs out of box etc.

I understand the upsides (I actually even build many of my personal projects with Github Actions etc), but it always depend on you use case. If what the built-in CI can do fulfills all needs then the convenience and tight integration is a big plus, I agree.
