Is hosting a git repository on a Windows network share a terrible idea? (latte.isnot.coffee)

I just joined a new team (very small: four developers in total, with two of those leaving soon). The two original developers set up the git repo on a folder in a Windows network share.

Am I taking crazy pills, or is that a bad idea? Our organization does have github/gitlab/bitbucket available, so is there any good reason not to use those hosted solutions?

That may be the case, but the original engineers have made other highly questionable decisions: the backend service was written in Java 8...just last year!

That doesn't sound questionable, but somewhere between stubborn and stupid. Unless that thing is supposed to be deployed to a heavily outdated system where nothing newer than Java8 will run, that is.
