I think the reasons have been mentioned a few times. Maybe you just
didn't think they were good.

What I saw was "git<DASH><SPACE> produces a list of 143 commands. Long lists are inefficient. Get rid of it!". Actually the list is a hash table in any reasonable shell. So its only aesthetics?

Being able to quickly see the list is very useful. That could be done with git<SPACE><TAB>, except some people want that to be lobotomized to show only a fraction of the total. My mind boggles at that one.

But see my other post.  I'm over it.
