Git wasn't used all that much in the 2000s. As far as I know it became popular in the 2010s (though it was always a thing in some circles I think) and then just supplanted almost everything else.
Also keep in mind some shops tend to follow larger tech companies (microsoft, etc.) and their product offering. So even new products might not have been on git until MS went in that direction.
It was released in 2005.
Takes time to become ubiquitous.
For sure, I wanted to remind the date because it makes it obvious that it couldn't be much used in the 2000', even its second half is too short.
