We'v known this for twenty years and had the data ta back it up for ten. Github flow is one of the most damaging things to ever happen to software teams
Omfg yes! Have nothing to add, but an upvote was not enough to express my hate for gitflow. So fucking stupid. And you'll show stats from Jez Humble etc about trunk based, and my boss was still "eh not convinced"
Gitflow is far more complex and unnessaray for most places. You do not need a dev, main, and release branches. Github flow is far closer to trunk based dev - create a branch of master, PR back into master when done. If you keep your PRs small it gives you most of the benefits of trunk based dev with a CI check before you merge to the mainline.
Github flow has the same issues, in practice. Branching is the root cause, not the kind of branching. Even anonymous branches. Its the frequency of integration that matters.

Git Flow and GitHub Flow are entirely different branching strategies.
Gitflow is has the same issues
Git Flow is awful I absolutely agree. On the other hand I like GitHub Flow.
