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?

To be honest I'd start by asking them why it's set up like that as diplomatically as possible. This might be a bad solution, but what pushed them to adopt it nevertheless might be an organizational peculiarity you don't want to find the hard way.
