Hmm, it sounds like the main example of “slop” there is 1000 global variables.

I’m curious if that matters if humans are never going to even read this code?

If by never even read you don't include attaching a debugger to solve an issue. 1,000 global mutable variables would make debugging anything an absolute nightmare.
