It's a good point. I should have worded it better:

  Tools wanting to reason about them have historically had to
  reimplement git's parsing logic externally. With git url-parse,
  scripts can delegate URL parsing to git's own parser: validate
  a URL, extract a component (scheme, user, host, port, path,
  password), or both.

What I meant to say is that git's URL parsing was never exposed
as a standalone operation, leading external tools to reimplement
the logic themselves.

For example:

    npm/git-url-parse       millions of weekly downloads
    crates/git-url-parse    half a million downloads

With this builtin, scripts can rely on git's own parser
instead of a third party reimplementation.
