That's just not true.

Most open-source people want to be able to read, audit, fix, and (if it comes to it) maintain other people's code. 14+ million lines of code make this virtually impossible. (To be fair: Electron-based apps aren't the best example for the point I'm trying to make.)

Rate of change is another very useful metric.
