why not train it on copyright material also? whats the prima-facie reason for not doing so? i mean if you are doing "all public repos", why not everything else?

They did train it on copyrighted work. The GPL is a license for copyrighted work. If it wasn't copyrighted, a license would be useless.

The code being covered by copyright and the code being publicly accessible are two different things.

Because scraping a public website is different from breaking into adobes private source control servers?

Officially, Github does not have access to those repos. It manages them doesn't mean all team have access to them.
