Git-lfs isn't built into git, it's a separate thing you need to go find and download, or pull in from your package manager. It's a hack on top of git.

Sure. How does that relate to my comment?

Either you need (large, not suitable for inclusion or submodules) resources from outside the repo or you don't. If you don't, don't do it. If you do, git-lfs is to me a valid choice and the specific best choice depends on workflow details, and to me it doesn't have any obvious potential to be misused more.
