The GitHub desktop client is very limited and seems mostly geared toward a lone developer or small team who has never used git before. In this context I think it's a reasonable decision to use a more common verb.

Nope. That does no one any good. Using git verbage would, at the very least, acclimate them to very common terminology used by the rest of the folks they will eventually encounter.
Well, I disagree, because the alternative for many is probably no source control.
Folks writing production crap would opt for no source control? Well, fair enough I guess. But I (and probably most competent sw engineering folks) would never hire someone who was completely oblivious to using source control. So hopefully that 'practice' would die through attrition.
