okay, but why?

Lots of people want to use document databases as if they were relational, lots of people want to use their RDBMS as a file server and lots of people use spreadsheets for just about everything.

Lots of people wanting to use a product in certain way doesn't mean it's a good idea, nor that someone else should make that work for them that way

Ok but those are unreasonable things to do. Versioning large binary files is clearly not an unreasonable thing to want to do.
No but that doesn't mean a decentralized VCS is the best tool for the job. A file server may be sufficient and more efficient
