That does sound like the 99% are pretty dumb then for using a tool that's not suitable for them... Or maybe it's not as binary, and Gits model with its complexity has more useful properties making the trade off worth it.

Computing history is full of examples where technologies that are objectively not the best technologies end up being dominant. It's more about economics. (Network externalities, switching costs, ...)
Although I will admit that, with version control, there isn't even an alternative out there that is anything like an "objective winner". Each one has its problems, and it's a matter of choosing the least of the evils. -- I haven't tried any of the commercial ones though.
