Quite a few systems use torrent style distribution.
Heck, even Windows uses a distributed bandwidth system where you can set it to download chunks of updates from local networked systems.
All technologies, like bittorrent, nonSQL databases, blockchain, AI and the like become used as an invisible part of systems once the idiotic hype about the technology wanes.
Except blockchain solves no useful problems so you will never find it behind anything that isn't explicitly using it for marketing.
Git is a distributed block chain, from a certain point of view.
Not in an meaningful sense connected to the technology at all
