Github will never be the only options there's always alternatives.

Jujutsu is a Git frontend, from what I understand, much like there's tons of Git GUIs. So, you interact with it in a different way, but you still push to a Git repository and others can interact with your code by using Git.
I guess, it somewhat lessens the grip of Git, because they can hook different backend services (e.g. Subversion, Mercurial, Fossil) into this frontend, and from what I understand, they plan to develop an own backend eventually. But yeah, for now, the communication standard is still Git.
It's not a Git frontend per se, it just uses Git as a storage layer (Google's internal backend doesn't use Git and behaves more like a commit cloud)

But none that compete properly with it. I'm not a good programmer but nearly every open sourced project I've used/accessed was on Guthub

Forgejo and Codeberg are great (I use both), but only for backups, at least unless you're already well known. For small developers, GitHub is pretty much the only platform that might let others discover your project.

It was a shit show before GitHub. I used to email code.
I don't care if GitHub is the defacto for open-source projects, as long as there are competitors and mirrors.
As a contributor, I can't go back to creating multiple accounts and trying to figure out how the hell I give you code.
