I do not find git weird and bizarre at all. First time I hear such nonsense. Why do you feel that way?

It’s amazing you haven’t heard negative criticism of Git, before! It’s widespread.

You probably haven’t used it enough, honestly.

Rebasing, reflogs, pickaxes, 3 way merges, merge directions, the fact that merge directions are reversed during rebases, are all weird things that are pretty specific to git.

At least as far as how they’re presented

You don’t seem to listen very closely. Linus himself recognized git’s perceived weirdness in a talk he gave about it years ago.
