But isn't that a red herring? Git hosters are just a final mainline
hoster imposing CVCS models. Git is all about DVCS ostensibly, though
more and more people are reverting to CVCS with local caching as their
working model because of GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket.

The point here is that someone can mutate a branch locally and then
force it to the mainline. Some people think this a good thing.
Especially with the rise on GitHub of the habit of pull requests
demanding commit squashing.
