Git supports binary blobs. That's a choice that was made way back, and it is not the fault of the user for using that feature. If Linus didn't want people to use git for binary blobs he probably shouldn't have added support for it.
Once he did add support for binary blobs he had an obligation to take the security of that component and its users seriously. And as I said before, although the risk is not sky-is-falling bad, it is present. I think even Linus agrees with that now or he wouldn't be working on a path forward at all.
