The argument that git can have consensus if people just agree to isn’t compelling in this context. The distinction here is that with blockchain, consensus is mandatory and has a specific technical meaning. With git, consensus is optional at best, achieved only manually, is easily broken by rogue activity, and the word consensus might not even mean the same thing and can change over time in the case of git - there are lots of examples of original projects or forks that have claimed to be the one and only place people should concentrate their efforts, only to get abandoned in favor of something else later.
