PRs are not restricted. Creating repos is.
And there is no way to NOT restrict it, unless you want to pay several
hundred Euros a month in hosting fees extra, and constantly be on the
lookout for hosting illegal/harmful things.
Hosting tons of forks can be done very efficiently if you storage
solution provides adequate *deduplication* support. That's only one of
the typical issues that you'll have to face, if you try to imitate the
big ones by using utterly inadequate means. Tools which only look
similar on their outer surface.
Fighting notification spam, which plagued codeberg (=forgejo) users the
last days in a very unpleasant way, are a similar problem. Ignoring the
importance of these less obvious maintenance requirements looks to me
like setting up an email server resp. gateway without any mature spam
protection facilities these days.
But I also wouldn't be happy if GitHub would be simply chosen at the end
because of all this challenging troubles and dangers.
Anyway -- CI workflow, automatic PR checks and satisfying comment and
documentation support are IMHO much more important aspects than just
hosting a git repo on the web.
