The fact that many people are familiar with github and its workflow is indeed a good argument. But the "using Gitlab would still require users to have an account on GitLab" I think is no argument at all. Creating a GitLab account is a fast and easy one-time task, the browser can then remember your password, etc. Everyone is used to having a zillion accounts for all the zillion services we all use.
