Had these exact same thoughts while I was configuring a series of workflows and scripts to get around the multiple unjustified and longstanding restrictions on what things are allowed to happen when.
That sinking feeling when you search for how to do something and all of the top results are issues that were opened over a decade ago...
It is especially painful trying to use github to do anything useful at all after being spoiled by working exclusively from a locally hosted gitlab instance. I gave up on trying to get things to cache correctly after a few attempts of following their documentation, it's not like I'm paying for it.
Was also very surprised to see that the recommended/suggested default configuration that runs CodeQL had burned over 2600 minutes of actions in just a day of light use, nearly doubling the total I had from weeks of sustained heavy utilization. Who's paying for that??
