Markdown has been extremely popular since far before GitHub existed.

    I'm sure Markdown was already popular, but I agree with the OP that GitHub made it orders of magnitude more popular.

    Previously its popularity was somewhat similar to RST.

    Sure, but it became kind of the default with GitHub taking a lead position in code repository services.
