Not shared much opinion by something like half of all git users likely... as any absolute opinion. Also can only counter the insults by responding: you are a fanatic by using git for backup and work tracking, which in contrast to you, I wouldn't condemn you for ;) everyone/team can use a tool for what fits best and is their use case.

So far I had never lost data ever with git, just confusing git situations from people who never rebased, but still shoot into their own foots with duplicate commits added by helplessly merging around multiple branches too much, all with much too many "fix typo" commits and then unresolvable conflicts :D

(Oh, and btw, when people end up there and I'm asked to get them back to sanity, it usually involved rebasing or cherry-picking them out of their messes).
