They are moving everything to azure to be able to scale so I'm guessing they are going through growing pains.
But if these issues continue for more than a couple months I could see organizations looking more and more into other options, but let's be honest, everyone knows and uses GitHub so they'd really have to mess things up for more than a fraction of their user base to move away
I changed to Sourcehut and quite happy. I try to stay away from anything owned by Microsoft.

I always used bitbucket. I have github solely to create issues for some projects or put projects into favourites so I can find them easily when I need to. Bitbucket had two outages that I remember but it never impacted me.
