Maintaining safety equipment takes time and effort we could be using for something else. But we do it anyway because when we do need it, it trumps all other concerns.
It’s better for people to get comfortable dealing with commit history than kicking the can down the road by getting the abridged edition. You’re infantilizing your coworkers, and hamstringing the people who do deep root cause analysis at the same time.

You haven't established the relationship between"safety equipment" and your preferred style commit history. You haven't shown one to be safer than another.

I do deal with the commit history just a simpler, more meaningful version. If you could write code perfectly with as little effort as possible wouldn't you do it? Well we're not perfect but we can go back and change the history so it looks like we were :)
