I have noticed this as well. There is a huge resistance to learning Git, and I think it's partly warranted. Researchers know what it is, and know that it's valuable, but think it will take too long to learn and they want to move fast. I recently started building a tool called Calkit (https://github.com/calkit/calkit) in an attempt to simply and unify Git and DVC for these types of researchers. Hoping to convince folks that working reproducibly is actually faster in the long run, never mind the fact that it makes their work more directly usable for pushing the field forward more quickly overall.
