While I agree with the broader sense of what you are saying I agree, but counting the lines of code like that is a bit unfair. Yes there are many, even for an app, but the source code of your terminal and the commands that you use should also be counted by your logic.

You can only count the lines of code for my terminal if you also count the lines of code for the Browser. The source code of the command in question (dig) also doesn't count, because their application literally calls the `dig` shell command. So they need not just those 500K lines of PHP (I didn't bother to count the CSS or JS) but they are also dependent on a shell (probably /bin/sh, which could be anything deepening on their host OS) AND the dig command itself.
