Because it's frequently loved and other people mention it as an
advantage to using git with Emacs.

hg etc

I spoke with Sigma a while ago in #emacs (he was or is a big magit
contributor, I can't recall his actual name), and he think it's
feasible to abstract away the git part of magit and use it as an
interface for git and hg. Magit would hardly be the first of its kind
to abstract away git and hg. Kiln Harmony has also done this, as has,
for example, Phabricator.

Not really. I'm trying to appeal to git Emacs users.
