Why do you think it's "the most" when there are equivalents?
What does "most" mean? Most used was the point and the only salient quality that fits.

This is a great question. Where I work we use TFSVC and the VP of Engineering is willing to green-light a switch to Git as long as we can make a data-driven, objective case for why Git is better. In other words: "the devs prefer it" or "using Git makes me happier" don't wash as valid reasons. Branching in Git is certainly much easier but the counter that "you can branch with TFSVC too" is true, even if it's slower and eats up your hard drive space faster...
Slower and eats up disk space faster seem like valid data points to me.
The Devs prefer it = improving the Devs workflow

That's not necessarily true. Everyone knows at least one dev who would prefer the world's stupidest workflow. And where it is true, it can directly contradict other priorities, like 'the devs prefer to check bug fixes directly into production because it saves them the work of staging'.
