Not necessarily; if one commit touches all lines (or a bunch), and another reverts that, the blame is thrashed; much worse than having rebased the temp change away. And a commit name of "." is quite significantly less useful in a git blame than "Rewrite foo to use new thing" when looking at reasons for why foo might have broken.
