The counter argument would be that maybe git is so basic and easy to learn that everyone feels comfortable enough with it to write a tutorial?

I think a large amount of content is more a factor of Git's ubiquity than its difficulty.

Nobody writes tutorials on how easy Lyft or Uber apps are to use. Easy interfaces don't need lots and lots of tutorials. That's exclusively the result of poorly designed interfaces AND complicated systems.

Lyft is an app. Git is a tool for developers. I have no clue how they're related.

That being said, I googled "How to use Lyft" and there's a ton of results.
