The thing is that something as trivial as version control should not require that much learning. Pretty much all version control systems other than git had already achieved that (by not providing such a vast "feature surface").
Of course this isn't exactly git's fault. It was developed specifically for Linux kernel developers, not (for instance) for artists on a game development team. The problem is that nowadays, people start to get the impression that git is the only version control system, and want to use it for things it wasn't designed for.
