The mistake is assuming that fossil is simply a source code management system, it is not. Fossil is closer to a collaboration system around source code.
If you can live your life without it, good. But if I want to use a GUI with links instead of markdown files in a repo from which I can't click to go to the next article, an ssg and a dependency on Github/Gitlab/whatever host I store my code in, and other tools, then fossil does it all for me right from a single binary that will be the same for everyone.
