Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

I find this comment really interesting, because NONE of my clients in the last 10 years of (self-) employment had even a single codebase on GitHub.

I am contributing to a few open source projects on GitHub here and there though.

GitHub is not Git.

Git is by far the most widely used VCS. The majority of code hosting services use it.

Yes, I am aware. I didn't claim anything else.

My clients don't use GitHub.

Most of my clients do use Git. (some use other VCS)

What made you think I thought differently?

Because the comment you replied to never mentioned GitHub. I thought you didn’t know the difference. Linus created Git.
