The fact they are not on by default seems to actually be hurting Mercurial in the debate against Git. As every review of "Mercurial vs Git" assumes they are not available, just because they are not enabled in default configuration out of the box.

Maybe Mercurial should start shipping them enabled?

I would rather they be made easier to enable (currently one has to edit an .INI file). That would be better than trying to appease some hypothetical from-Git converts.
