Git has one interface for disconnected commits and another one for connected ones. Most of the command set is bifurcated around this. Sure there are places where you do the same act for local and remote but those are more the exception than the rule. It's very exposed. They've done very little no create any sort of abstraction across them, and that's probably the right answer.
Ah, yes, "in theory, the theory and the practice are the same". Unfortunately, in practice, the theory and the practice are not the same, and those cases are regularly not solved with optimistic UI (even though they should), so there is difference.
