Do we think of git commits as diffs, snapshots, and/or histories?(jvns.ca)

Depends on context.

Most of the interfacing is change based. But calling that diff is misleading.

But calling that doff is misleading.

Git actually uses diffs behind the scenes a lot - 3-way diffs/merges to be more accurate. Merging, rebasing, cherry picking and even reverting are all 3-way diff-merges.
