You're not wrong... I think the irony in this is that it likely produces very large codebases in an attempt to maximize legibility - in such a way that devs new to the code will spend an equal amount of time traversing it and trying to find things as they would have trying to understand a more minimal but less boring codebase while also potentially improving their abilities. In other words it's lose lose for all.
