Sure lots of good things would never catch on except an influential person in the field the good thing targets says: hey this is really useful for us!

This gets lots of people to look at it. But those people still have to decide in the end of the day whether it is actually useful for them.

Reminds me of sports:

Just because Steph Curry uses Under Armor doesn't mean everyone will too.

I think obviously something created by Linus was deemed to be of great value, but what made Git as profound as it is today is: UX for the majority of people who are beginners, which was Github backed by millions of other developers.
