I agree and that is why I think monorepos are making a comeback.
That said, there are workarounds, like cloning all repos and enabling LSP (coding CLIs added that feature) or using a dedicated solution for codebase indexing and add a skill/mcp.
Super fast models spamming grep commands are also fun to watch!
Run a copy of this in the same VPC. Monorepos would definitely help, but that's not the structure we have. I didn't want to rely on API limits (or stability) at GitHub for such a core feature.
Using this we've had agents find dead APIs across multiple repos that can be cleaned up and the like. Very useful.

Curious to know how you implemented it in house.
