I think the only solution is self-hosting. Would a hosting provider (excluding AWS, given recent news) comply with these baseless requests?

I'm personally done with Github.

Gitlab is a bit too heavy to run but I can live with Trello and my own git server - all my OSS projects I care about have their own website anyway (ironically, moving from Github Pages to Netlify will be the most annoying part).

For personal repos it would probably be better to go with Gitea or a similar lightweight forge.

For small or independent developers Gitea is really nice. The thing with GitHub and (especially) GitLab is they’re really focused on enterprise customers, so, if you’re a small developer, you get forced into using all the bloat that only makes sense once you need a ton of collaboration.

I hope Cloudflare pages ends up being as good as the sales pitch. It looks promising if it does.

As for static page hosting, it is better to just use IPFS + Cloudflare Gateway via CNAME.

It has been working great for over a year now. (Eg, my unmaintained but truely serverless blog: https://fabian.social/posts/2020-11-07-ipfs-blogging.html)
