As far as I know there is a good amount of companies that host websites for free( github pages, cloudflare pages, other hosting companies) even intel uses github pages for hosting clear linux website.

    Marketing and analytics.

    Every website you visit is doing so much tracking and analytics like where your screen is focused, where your mouse is, what link is clicked. Git and CF pages are generally flat markup pages that don’t provide that kind of information.

    plus if I host the page myself, I know what the stack is doing and can control the changes. While Github and CF pages are up to the whim of providers for features.
