This is a version control misfeature/bad practice.

It's almost the single version control system that has it as part of its regular commands (though others allow it, generally as part of an admin set of permissions and usually with super clear warnings not to do it).

And it's far from a reason why git won. Git won because it was written by Torvalds and every script kiddie dreams to be a Linux kernel hacker and because the Facebook for Code, Github, took off and it was based on git.

Heck, I'd "accuse" you of rewriting history right now :-))
