I think even the proponents concede that git isn't better enough
to justify a switch in repositories.

They do claim that GitHub (the whole environment; not just the
hosting) is so much better that a switch to GitHub is justified.

Github + hg offers far fewer benefits than Github + git, so also
switching to git is part of the price.  Whether that is an
intolerable markup or a discount is disputed, as are the value
of several other costs and benefits.
