Sure, but this problem applies to huge software products like Microsoft Office, not the sort of software that the average developer at the average company works on every day. So while Perforce may be good for that 1% of the population, Git probably meets the needs of everyone else better.
(BTW, there are repositories bigger than the Linux kernel that behave very well under Git. The Emacs git repository is an example, it has almost 30 years of history, weighs in at around 150M, but still performs fine. I know that I have never been paid to work on any application nearly this big, so I don't really worry about Git not meeting my needs.)
