That's pretty common when talking about the actions or product of a non-sentient structure. It helps to differentiate the product from the person. If you say "I released a new version", the end result is tied to the individual. If you say "we released a new version", even if it's just one person, it makes it clear that the new version is the output of the company/organization/collective/structure/etc, even if that company/organization/collective/structure/etc is just one person.

It's kind of like a single-owner LLC. The structure limits the liability by detaching responsibility from the owner and attaching it to the corporation, even though the corporation is in reality just the one person. It's a very abstract concept that just implies a product can be separate from the individual who created it.
