I don't see the connection. Pricing may effect their long term prospects, but I don't see any evidence these issues are being caused by a shortage of metered / allocated resources. They should have access to as much Azure compute as necessary.

"Should" doesn't imply "does". GitHub is competing with all of the other Microsoft products that need Azure compute, in addition to Microsoft customers. If a customer is willing to buy the compute at a higher margin than the internal chargeback rate, it's definitely not a given that GitHub is getting that compute over the customer. It's hunger games for compute everywhere right now.
