I have to interject here that the git client doing a push must be fully authenticated which implies to me that all the information required is available to do so and allow the server repository to be updated.

Not just "storage implementation", but some things are totally kept outside the control of Git proper, including user and repository management. Creating, deleting, and modifying authentication and authorization details of these things are outside the scope of Git, and forges build on their competing designs.
