But it can also be a matter of (inexperienced) devs just deciding, fuck it, I won't try to merge it, I'll just copy my changes elsewhere and throw away the repo.

Pretty sure that's actually it. Git has a learning curve and, for example, some naive rebase not working out as intended can be scary if you don't know what you're doing.
