GIT seams to be optimized for network of trust. With one person at the top approving what gets merged into the release.

This person of course does not do all of the verification, other then broad strokes of what the change does, and who wrote it, reviewed it and tested it.

I feel like companies do not want a large tree like structure for their development teams.

Without a network of trust it can become mob rule, which is what this article appears to be describing.

That makes sense; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law applies and git was created by Linus Torvalds for Linux, which works exactly like that.
