  why?

    Goodhart's law, and because there are code paths not worth testing.

      If its not worth testing delete it. Which target metrics do you consider to be good despite Goodhart's law?

  Maybe so. However, it is really really handy when you are assessing the completeness of your tests using code coverage, and can clearly see unhandled negative paths. And then you can decide whether some of them deserve dedicated tests or not.
