Ignoring the snark of your comment: indeed, many people chose Perforce either because they have binaries that require revision control or because their trees are huge.
We have to suffer under Perforce for the first of those reasons (we have artwork and CAD files none of which are text). Sadly, P4 is pretty much the only game in town for a medium sized organization with binaries (someone large like Google can afford to replace it with an in house solution but that isn't worth it for most of us).
I tried annex a few years ago and it was also painful, but perhaps it's gotten better. Certainly I miss the power of git when using P4.
