Git doesn't do that. People needlessly destroying history do that.
Git will happily let you merge branches and preserve the history there. GP seems to like that history being in PRs only on github instead. I don't get why, that just seems worse to me.
That is an issue of ignorance, not laziness. It’s not obvious at all to an average developer that only uses `add/commit/merge/fetch/push/pull/rebase/restore/reset` that they can manipulate their change history.
The cause stops mattering after a while, either you have to go on a full time campaign to educate people… or switch the setting to rebase and squash and be done with it.
