As explained, the storage backend in git is pluggable but still not flexible enough.
There has been efforts to store git repos in torrents, and to store got repos on crypto blockchains, but all are big architectural challenges, for example people want everything to be backwards compatible for starters, and some want to be able to partially store some content somewhere else, while still keeping all existing use cases efficient.
