Perforce is really nice if you need to source control 16k textures next to code without thinking too much about it. Git LFS absolutely works but it's more complicated and has less support in industry tooling. Perforce also makes it easier to purge (obliterate) old revisions of files without breaking history for everyone. This can be invaluable if your p4 server starts to run out of disk space.

The ability to lock files centrally might seem outdated by the branching and PR model, but for some organizations the centralized solution works way better because they have built viable business processes around it. Centralized can absolutely smoke distributed in terms of iteration latency if the loop is tight enough and the team is cooperating well.
