Is hosting a git repository on a Windows network share a terrible idea? (latte.isnot.coffee)

I just joined a new team (very small: four developers in total, with two of those leaving soon). The two original developers set up the git repo on a folder in a Windows network share.

Am I taking crazy pills, or is that a bad idea? Our organization does have github/gitlab/bitbucket available, so is there any good reason not to use those hosted solutions?

This is actually a very large government agency, with many internal as well as external projects hosted on those services, in the public instances as well as our own internal hosted instances of those services. But as long as there's no glaring issues with it, and it's a generally acceptable practice, then I'm fine with it as it doesn't really affect my day to day use via command line.
