There's a difference between the creator of a software system and who actually adopts it and advocates it in practice.
Yes, git did originally come from Linus and the Linux kernel development community. But since then, their original use of it has been eclipsed by the larger and more vocal GitHub/Ruby on Rails/JavaScript segment of software developers. The fact that both groups use git does not mean that they're otherwise connected in any way. Traits (such as the propensity to be a hipster) specific to one of the groups very likely do not apply to the other.
Many of these GitHub/Ruby on Rails/JavaScript people do advocate very loudly for git's use everywhere, even in situations where it is not the best choice, or even where it's obviously a bad choice. Some of them have elevated git from being a tool to a quasi-religion. They've done this with some of their other "chosen" tools, too, so it's not just limited to git.
They do make the git community as a whole look quite bad. But they're obviously very distinct and separate from the Linux kernel developers who created git. The two distinct groups should obviously not be confused.
