Text is a universally understood file format. That means it can be easily diffed, compressed, smartly stored (like storing only changes). That's not true of binaries, at least most of them. That's why I'm pessimistic about a good universal VCS ever existing.
I would also love some kind of good (even decent would be enough) VCS for binary/non-text files. I get a stress rash just watching our designers work with "final_final_2023_1_backup_new.psd".
I think Git is relatively simple in relation to all the complicated things you can do with it. If you don't need/use those complicated things, it of course feels like way too much work for too little pay off.
