Most commercial developers are using git as if it was svn with some local caching, and other small features that could be added to svn (at some cost). They call their svn central server github. Very few take advantage of what makes git different from svn. Svn lost, but the reasons were not always good (I never used svn so I cannot comment in detail, but the VCSs I used before git are still the same workflows most use with git)

You seem to have forgotten how bad branching and merging was in Subversion. Trauma, repressed memories and so on, perfectly understandable.

As I said, I never used SVN (several other version control systems yes, but not SVN). However it seems like those are fixable problems in SVN.

They are. You use git-svn as a tool to prepare patches for submission and branch in Subversion only for a release series. It works remarkably well.
