I don't understand why we celebrate that. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I thought there was a consensus that loc are a bad metric at the best of times.
Edit: It's commits, not lines of code. Now I feel dumb.
This reminds me of my buddy who provides data (free of charge) that’s crawled and aggregated in a convenient fashion, available as a text file download. He at one point massively updated his code so it builds static text files faster for him, and is more efficient.
So he decided to plan a new version with the new code and add some revisions to the data. He releases a new version with his new under-the-hood improvements, and then proceeds to boast on the site about how much cleaner the code is and how much better it runs to build these static text files. And I try to remind him, no one cares except you. Your finished product looks the same regardless of how it was built. You can be happy, but it’s rather meaningless to everyone else.
It's not meaningless - as a user of his product I would love to be updated that the product I am using is maintained and was just improved/modernized. It tells me the product is not abandoned. I think updates like that are great.

I agree with one of the commentators on the blizzard page - this feels like propaganda, and I'm saying this AS a long-term WoW player.
