I don't think it's useful in it's current form (except perhaps for newcomers to a project to have an idea of the file structure at a glance).

But I also don't think they're trying to present this as a new killer feature they've been working on for years.

I'm pretty sure this is just an experiment/exploration done by a few people over a few months to see what they found, then they presented their results.

Spot on! It's a space I've been wanting to explore, and so have been tinkering with it this last week while we're in between larger projects. I definitely don't see it being a product in it's current gotten, but wanted to share the exploration! Although I will say that the more I've been visualizing different repos, the more convinced I am that it's more useful than is easy to convey.
Have you looked at CodeScene at all?
I hadn't seen it until today - looks like a useful product!
