Isn’t publishing on Github Pages still posting to a corporate centrally owned entity and not a solution to the problem described?

But it is portable. It is essentially markdown files. You can download your repo, compile the Jekyll to static pages and publish them anywhere.

When you publish to Facebook, WordPress etc you can't easily get your stuff out. You will have to process them even if they allow you to download your content as a zip folder. The images will be broken. Links between pages won't work etc.
