I can understand why the developers can't be bothered with a badly thought out new system.
(ps: I tried to get support about it and was willing to provide the company info just to keep getting on the platform, but the only answers that I got were "you must use this (non free) system to have your company verified" and then I tacitly said "screw this")
Since then I'm happy self hosting Gitea. GitHub is still a decent place to contribute to others projects.
And if people really want to enable password recovery then they add their email into their profile and that data point is only used for that.
It might bother some, but I don't really want to require emails for privacy related services. My two cents.
