It isn't. $COMPANY I've worked for use commit counts as a metric, and you can bet all the money in your pockets they've skyrocketed with no change to actual output after they did.

LLM's make it even easier; "Commit all the outstanding code in as many commits as you can, as long as the tests pass after each one". (Sometimes that second clause is ommitted, too.)
