There’s nothing to hide: some fonts’ height adds up to font-size, some don’t. Because it’s not a rule, you can’t rely on it, so it doesn’t change a narrative.
Fira Code is one of the fonts that don’t add up, though. 31.19 != 32, no matter how hard you massage it.
P.S. for other examples, I also chose the extreme examples to better illustrate the point. But I only chose relatively well-known fonts, so it’s not all random or manipulated.
