There are plenty of places for sharing code. Github, Codepen, Codesandbox, and more all nail many of the technical challenges with code sharing. The issue is that none of them have a real community. (Codepen is the closest, but even then most community events are led from the top-down rather than developing organically between users.)

That's definitely one of the things that most excites me about the Scratch community. Without any interaction from the Scratch Team mature users pull together long-running competition series like Design Duel and OS Wars as well as complicated collaborations like the ScratchRunning podcast and the Scratch Saga. The users actually care about their community, respecting others, and building things together that are amazing. Scratch may not be a perfect community, but it's pretty darn close.
