The point is that people who privately host projects on GitHub might expect to be able to do the same on a GitHub alternative.

Just asking why anyone would want to publicly host the repo for a closed source project isn’t a point – it’s just you not understanding the reasons for doing that, and just because you personally don’t understand something doesn’t mean there’s no valid reason to do it.
Unity publishes some source code for reference purposes only. It is not open source, just made public.
