This is just not true and I warn everyone from believing this is the case. GitHub is based on git which can be hosted anywhere and by anyone. The features which GitHub provide above and beyond git can be replicated with some work (either by switching to Gitlab, which you can host yourself, or using one of the other alternatives like Gitea) if you want to.

Is GitHub useful? Yeah! Is it indispensable? No!
