I really liked the analogies the author used to demistify git usecases. I also agree that it probably doesn’t make sense to use other version control systems if cost and learning (which can also be modeled as cost for the company) are not factors.
For eg, if there is some quick project you need to do, and people in your team have been using say CVS, and there is not much wiggle room in the deadline, getting your team to use Git may not be the most smartest choice - I think that is what most people mean there when they talk about ‘tiny’ projects.
I will say that even if you are not truly starting from scratch, migrating to git has advantages more often, but I am wary of trivialising the people who think there is a cost associated to ( move to )a distributed system like git.
