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?

Yes, it's definitely the former case, thankfully. Agreed that it's strange, but it's hard to put a technical reason behind it if I decide to push for hosting it somewhere better.

Why not just host a server in house?
