But you can use pure html in many other generators, if they ban based on capability and not usage then the ruling is as intended.
I agree they should have just been asked to move it to another site in that case so the judge can be sure there isn't anything going on behind the scenes, I wonder why they didn't just ask that the instant they saw it was github pages instead of just disqualifying it without notice?

It sound like the person who did the judging isn't technical at all, so saw "github" and that was the end of it. They don't know any better themselves.
The git history is publicly available in the repo and you can see all the changes are directly to the source. They obviously were not using a generator.
