It felt to me like it's more of a neat fact rather than a measure of quality.
1. They weren't counting LOC though, but commits. It's a totally different metric.
2. This type of stat was always being shared with each new release, giving a general indication of the size of changes. They did not started posting it all of a sudden due to AI.
