Can someone tell me why this is unreasonable?
It is a betrayal to the developers who put our projects up there. We wanted everything to be freely accessible, and of course this is just another step in enshittification of the service. Remember that many of us have small projects with few viewers, and we know that the extra burden on the server side isn't even measurable. Yet our work is less accessible.
The code is still accessible, you just can't use the code search function in the web, which normal git doesn't have anyway.
Yes, precisely. They built a useful feature and are now trying to wall off the garden. Enshittification.
