You're confusing errors in your code, and errors while doing some git command you thought you knew. Lucky you, it's clearly never happened to you because you don't mess around with it.

Sure, I sometimes messed up with git, but a git reset , checkout, rebase or filter-branch (In the extreme cases) normally fixes it, but real issues are very rare. And I use git a lot... But only the CLI, maybe people have issues with GUIs?

Funny those are commands I avoid.. They all have to do with editing history which I know there is a vocal group here that loves "clean" history but that isn't what happened.

sure merge full features so you can roll back a feature.. And if something is really off I might start from a snapshot commit and cherry pick/merge a bunch in but usually history is histoy.. If submitting to a public project I may make a new branch with the cleaned version but why edit in line. That is risking issues.
