The way this question is posed is quite unfair to Pasky -- it makes him look needlessly bad. The simple reason is because Cogito had its own richer fetch/pull first. The development of git aware pack transfer protocols by Linus and the list discussion for multi-head pushes and pulls came much later, which resulted in the current 'git fetch/pull' interface.
