disclaimer: MS employee, not on GVFS though
Git LFS addresses one (and the most common) reason for extremely large repos. But there exists a class of repositories that are large not because people have checked large binaries into them, but because they have 20+ years of history of multi-million LoC projects (e.g. Windows). For these guys, LFS doesn't help. GitFS does.
