Git is a competitor. It is fairly common to check data (e.g., csv or json files) into Git today.
However, this falls down pretty rapidly. In order to get reasonable diffs, the data has to be sorted, and line-oriented. Also Git just doesn't scale well to larger repos or individual objects.
Otherwise, we see the competitors as the way that people distribute data today - custom APIs, zip files full of CSV, etc.
