You are thinking about this wrong.
If it is so easy and quick to teach people how to use git, then why aren't colleges doing it!?!?
Learning how to use common software engineer tools is a low effort, high reward situation. All they have to do is spend a day on it, and they have now made their students significantly more valuable.
Educational institutions that do not even bother to spend such a small amount of time, in order to make their students much more valuable, are making a huge mistake.

It's not that they don't see any value in it, they just don't have any experience with it to pass on to students.
