Additionally, you have artists and level designers working on these files. These people tend to be semi-technical, and confronting them with the full details of git is usually met with a lot of resistance.
I know some smaller studios that use git to some extent, and they tend to struggle with it on occasion - again, primarily in the art & design departments, mainly with binary files.
