For these reasons, I always push for simple and straightforward workflows and many commits and merges. For many people git remains a mistery also after years working on it. I blame the easy-to-use guis, many people learn 2 buttons to press for a workflow, and they never care learning more
All the people I've worked with seem to use the command line. They just don't know much beyond "commit everything" and basic push/pull/branch/merge.
Conversely I learned most of what they don't know direct from the magit GUI. So I often don't know the specific command arguments. Not a good thing, but only a problem for communicating what to do to others.
Magit is super cool but not exactly easy to use :D
