I don't think this is quite correct. Mercurial is just as capable but has a much more accessible CLI.
Git pushes edge-cases to front and center. Almost all Git users use Git as a defacto centralized tool. There's a remote on GitHub, the end. Almost all users never need any feature that has to do with decentralization.
Git has somehow tricked people into thinking that version control is complicated. It's tragic.
