Who are you to say that my blobs don't belong in version control? Where does a versioned asset file for a website or a game go, if not in version control? If the answer is "somewhere else referneced by the git commit", then you're accepting that the data belongs in version control but that git can't handle it.

git-lfs isn't git, though. It's a bodge on top of git that breaks many of the assumptions about git, requires special handling and setup. If it _were_ a core part of git I would agree, but it's not.

Git is tightly coupled to a _bunch_ of unix tools, and doesn't work without them. Try running git on windows and see that installs an entire suite of posix tools (msys) just to let you run `git clone`.
