To me this is like saying to a construction worker: “The problem is not that your hammer has sharp spikes coming out of the handle at every angle. The problem is that you don’t put on a chain mail glove when using it.” That’s certainly one way to look at it.

Pretty analogy, but I don't see how a specific functionality of git (commit history) that has no use case other that looking tidy compares to a handle of a hammer.
