Git isn’t chosen on its own merits - it’s what the other tools support. If CI servers, issue managers, container tools etc all had a nice VCS-agnostic interface that would be great. But they don’t. We’re stuck with git or at least something that speaks git. Choosing an objectively “better” VCS is often directly coupled to the loss of some other tool.
