I think my answer is so simple :
They'll do only if they're techs.
Employers may need something with code but doesn't know how to write a simple line of code. That kind of employers will be like "show me something", making a python library won't be relevant for them but making a data visualization (something they see) will be more relevant.
In the other hand, if the employer is a tech guy (a programmer, dev ..), a github profile "only" can show your strength and capability if you have a good one. If not, some other non open source projects must be included in your CV with at least a little explanation.
