Some tools inspire reactions like this. Nix and NixOS also fall in this camp. The small number of people who love them write blog posts and comments evangelizing them. The much larger number of people who find no use for these tools, or who tried them and do not like them, do not find it worth the energy to write something about why they did not like the tool or why they just never bother to try it. Even if they did write something, it wouldn't get upvotes - "I tried this Magit thing, and it's supposed to be better than vanilla git, but really it isn't, so I keep using vanilla git," is just not an interesting blog post. So yes, most Git users are just like you and see no upside to Magit. Call it the silent majority.
