Mercurial supports only a subset of the use cases of git, while adding no exclusive functionality.

It is true that it is the subset that 90+% of the people need. But there are network effects on VCS, making git a clearly superior choice.

What doesn't Mercurial support?
From the top of my mind, rebase and amend. There's probably more.
mercurial supports rebase for a long time https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RebaseExtension
Rebase and amend are both supported in mercurial.
