As I see it:

Arch was the first DVCS I heard about and used. It did have a horrible
UI. Some of the people who  worked on Arch went on to work on Bzr
with the express intention of providing DVCS features without the
horrible Arch UI. The primary goal of the Bzr people was usability.

The people who developed Git came from Bitkeeper (something I have
never used). Their primary goals were technical ones, in particular
speed. The UI started out horrible and has become less horrible
over time.
