There's also an implicit bias towards blathering in LLM output, especially in open-ended scenarios like code completion. Language models prefer high-probability outputs; if it's appropriate for a model to generate highly stereotypical content like boilerplate getters/setters and documentation comments, it's more likely to generate that than something more application-specific like the actual implementation of an algorithm.
