Having alternatives is always good! And BTW, Git won not because it was better than mercurial...

The only thing better than perfect is standardised. Supporting two vcs-systems would mean that a lot of tooling would need to be duplicated for it

Sure, at the very beginning of the launch of Git, Mercurial was better/had more features/more mature/etc.

That's just not true after 20 years of mainstream git adoption and development today.
