I always thought they'd eventually implement some sort of version control, ideally git based, or a timeline similar to Fusion360.

I was about to post exactly this. I don't even (personally) need collaboration, I just want to be able to branch, experiment, and merge. Even if we didn't get true version control, Fusion-style timelines would be such a huge improvement.

I know next to nothing about Ableton but aren't projects mostly a bunch of uncompressed audio or other large binary media files? Git doesn't really do well with that.

this is a DAW, so it generates most of the music, as opposed to audio editors (Sound Forge, Audacity) which operate like you say.

Vast majority of musicians use DAW, although some famously don't, e.g. Burial used Sound Forge for his first album.
