I have some code in Git with my custom patches, with upstream being Hg. `git-hg' works like a charm -- simple, clean etc. etc.. Dunno what you are talking about here.
Git provides git-fast-export & git-fast-import as two-way interconnects, with well-defined data formats.

I clearly didn't, too, so I deleted the post.
This still misses the point. It's not a technical problem, and you can't solve it with software. Being able to interoperate with git does nothing to convince users to use your great tool when all the cool people they know are using git. Where are the hg champions? The culture is the point, not the software.
Change the subject much? You missed the point entirely: you took one persons response and generalized it to the entire population of Mercurial users--claiming it is representative of an entire culture of that population. Then, you claim to be in possession of special knowledge as to what "SCM is for".
1) Tools to do that certainly exist. Nobody really cares about them to make them nicer.
2) Git is trivial to extend. If something for git doesn't exist that does not suggest any sort of arrogant attitude from git, but rather just a total lack of interest from both the developers and the community.
