At this point if your VCS isn't a layer above git plumbing, nobody gonna waste time using it. Especially if the improvements are minor enough that it could be reasonably just a wrapper and still have 90% of the improvements.

Did you not discover what git diff does ? It's clearer than the presented improvement !
Plenty of 3 way merge tools supported by git too, sure, it's external tool but it's adding one tool rather than upending the workflow

Conflicts are surfaced for review when concurrent edits happen “too near” each other, but they never block the merge itself. And because the algorithm tracks what each side did rather than just showing the two outcomes, the conflict presentation is genuinely useful.
Git merge cache (git rerere) is good enough. Only problem is that it isn't shared but that could be possibly done within git format itself if someone really wanted to

Probably true, but it's a shame because there are better ways of storing and processing the data, ways that natively handle binary files, semantics, and large files without falling over.
