SharePoint has version control for Word documents. It's better suited for that than Git.
Also, mailbox full of back and forth emails with successive versions of document in attachments is also a version control system. It just needs better tooling.
I do disagree about "Track Changes" though. That quickly becomes an incomprehensible mess. Better to avoid Track Changes (except in very small/simple agreements where you don't expect more than one or two turns, in which case it can be useful) and send a "clean" and redline version (based on the immediately preceding version) on each turn.
