You can make that incredibly reductive argument about anything. Even unit tests.

If the tool is right, you generate buy-in. If you don't, then either it isn't that good or you're not good at generating buy-in.

Yes. And buy-in doesn't necessarily mean that people will love the chosen tool. Just that they understand and accept the compromises made.

I think we are saying the same thing in different words. I don't hate most things. I don't have an opinion on most things. I am pretty indifferent about those things. I don't hate git submodules. However, I think we should at least hear out the concerns of people who hate git submodules. If you still want to use git submodules, then at least you've made an educated decision.
