With git I can create, edit and merge branches locally. If GitHub is down I can push to another remote I can send diffs. I can calmly carry on working until GitHub is back. If GitHub is down too much I can migrate to gitlab or gitea.

I would say the decentralised features of git work for me. And they are no overblown.

Sadly, people seem to push their entire development flows into GitHub Actions, so things like deployments happens on GitHub's servers, and then their servers go down and you suddenly can't deploy anymore... Or writing their documentation via GitHub issues/PR descriptions/comments and now you cannot access that either...
