Your logic is circular.

    No one should work on monorepos because...
    monorepos are bad because...
    git can't easily handle them and we shouldn't fix that because...
    No one should work on monorepos...

Clearly there are reasons people like monorepos and it makes sense to update git to support the workflow.

That isn't circular. The conclusion should be that git, a decentralized vcs, should not take on changes to make it a centralized vcs.

If you think that git needs to be "fixed" or "updated" to support a centralized vcs server to do partial updates over the network, then I think you've missed the point of git.
