Why is git added to the profile?

E.g., what if, say, I want to use "guix home" only for setting up
environment variables, dot files, etc, but not for installing software,
and I want to use "guix install" for installing software?

Alternatively, what if most of the time I don't use Guix, so I have no
need for "git" in the environment, and when I do need git, I'll just do
"guix shell git" to temporarily add it?

Greetings,
Maxime.
