It's almost like qwerty vs dvorak in that regard, except git and mercurial were contemporaries. Mercurial isn't quite good enough to displace git, and git has Linus as a promoter which was all it needed to be the leader.
That said, I agree that the network effect of having just one is more valuable than mercurial's ergonomics (which could still use a good branch story).
