> If people are still using git but not really using it, are they doing so simply to take advantage of free resources such as github and test runners,

does it have to be free to be useful? the CD part is is even more important than before, and if they still use git as their input, and everyone including the LLM is already familiar with git, whats the need to get rid of it?

there's value in git as a tool everyone knows the basics of, and as a common interface of communicating code to different systems.

passing tarballs around requires defining a bunch of new interfaces for those tarballs which adds a cost to every integration that you'd otherwise get for about free if you used git
