If you were talking about things like Kubernetes, LLVM, Ghidra then I'd agree.

But no git. This is not some expert tool.

This tool's purpose is literally to manage your characters' history, that's it.

Git could be used by any other profession that deals with letters - article writers, book writers, etc, etc.

Yes, but you seem to heavily underestimate the complexity of the problem and the volume of the use cases that git solves.
