Git is barely useable by technical people.
Git would be a byzantine disaster for 'everyone else'.
The graph and abstractions involved introduce enormous unnecessary complexity.
Now, 'historical changes for everyone' - yes.
But not Git. Git is very powerful, but ultimately a questionably valuable product in many cases overall. And we've now settled on it, so it's a bit difficult to displace.
