Um, what? Sorry but if someone is going to send, say, ten million malicious contributions (or heck, even just one), I don’t particularly want to deal with that on my self hosted server. I’d rather someone else deal with it.
The Linux project created Git to solve problems they had. Pretty much no other project in the world has the same set of problems - it’s a highly unusual open source project with tens of millions in market value. Other projects have very different needs.
