For me version control isn't even really about having backups (though that is a nice side effect). Version control is about documenting and annotating the process of creation, and it is uniquely necessary in programming because of how eternally iterative programming is. Code that is not annotated with its history and its motivations suffers to an extreme degree from entropy, becoming more and more difficult to understand.
VC is part of code. Not using it is, to me, like refusing to use verbs.
