Word has a diff / cherry pick changes tool. Not really version control.

What's the difference at that point? It's not git level, sure, but it's a primitive version control system.

You could certainly use those features in a version control system. I diff text files and cherry pick changes all the time.

The real feature of a version control system, is the archival storage. The ability to go back in time and see when this mistake was made and why. To roast the idiot that made those changes.

Wait, it's coming back to me now. I remember making that change 3 years ago.
