It's not that easy at this point in time. git carries a lot of momentum, especially in combination with GitHub.

Anybody learning about software development learns about git and GitHub.

Software is expected to be in GitHub.

At the time git became successful there were arguably better systems like mercurial and now we got fossil, but git's shortcomings are too little of a pain point compared to universal knowledge about it and integration into every tool (any editor, any CI system, any package manager, ...) and process.
