But there is no correlation to revenue potential between 99 and 100 commits. And most companies are not stuck at the first commit.

Absolutely untrue. The hardest problems I have solved required me to build observability over 2 quarters, write RFCs and get buy-in from other engineers. None of these contribute to commits.
