Look at it from a different angle - how many customers out there require code repositories? Now, let's say you want to have a 20-30 employee company, with a likely $3 million salary overhead and $10-15 Million dollar exit in 5-7 years.

How much do you have to charge per customer to hit that target? Remember, you have to cover Salary + Hosting/Hardware Overhead.

The most likely response would be "Why would someone expect to make that kind of money off of hosting repositories?"

My answer would be "Why would you expect a First Class Entrepreneur / Founding Team to commit their time to a endeavor that didn't have that class of pay out?"
