There is plenty of things that can make your life easier on Github/Gitlab, especially when working in a team:

- Issue tracker

- Merge requests that are easy to analyze

- Ability to put comments during a code review on specific lines of code and discuss it from there

- Embedded wiki for a project

- Managing different access rights to different repos

I couldn't see myself using pure git without any additional tooling for anything more that personal projects that I work on alone.
