Don't see why that needs to be the case. Git can even produce the
tarballs once you've synced up with kernel.org (see git-tar-tree).
People interested in conserving bandwidth should really consider
the use of Git.
yes,
however git users are people who plan on following every kernel version for a
while, tarball users are people who grab a copy of the kernel once in a while
(probably not every version). for the tarball users they would have to grab
multiple patches to get from the last thing that they have to whatever is
current. and frankly they may not (and probably should not) trust the last thing
that they have, as in many cases it's a distro patched kernel that may not be
compatable with the vanilla kernel.
people who start downloading every revision should start useing git or patches,
but not everyone needs it.
also people could be behind a firewall that prevents git from working properly,
for them tarballs and patches are the right way of doing things.
