You could say that about any tool, of course you have to spend some time to understand how to use it safely and effectively.
'for a new person, it's almost impossible to get anything done with a table saw'

And I've never used one, but I'm sure it takes some learning, skill, and practice to get good cuts the way you need them, e.g. bang on 45deg all the way across for a 'mitred' corner joint. And it certainly needs learning, care, and attention to operate safely.
I don't mean it to be an insensitive analogy - accidents involving table saws are obviously horrendously worse than those involving git.
