I have never, even once, in my nearly-20-year career had the desire to collaboratively edit a single, specific text file. Isn't collaboration without conflicts what version control systems are made to do?

I even think it would be annoying if someone would just move cursor around when I edit something. And there definitely would be conflicts if they would try to edit the file at the same time. Who needs this feature?

  Google Docs gives everyone their own cursors

  The way it generally works is that each user has their own cursor.

Proof by personal experience isn't all that convincing. Maybe you've never done pair programming, but other people have.
