Because the former are unlikely to be self-selected users of git and
instead are likely to be forced to use git because their $work has
dictated it to be so. The self-selected users of git IMO would tend to
both have the motivation and the basic skills to learn whatever they
need and are unlikely to blame their mistakes on git. The ones forced
to use git are *very* likely to say "git is broken", or "git doesn't
work" and then start arguing that "cvs never had that problem". Do you
really want a bunch of users of your software thinking CVS was
superior?

I would say the right default is the one that keeps idiot users happy,
and has the least "out of the box surprises" for them. The smart ones
will figure things out anyway and configure their tools appropriately.
