But you haven't identified any value, just mindless cited some throughput stat. Merge your code changes in 1-letter increments and you can juke the stats even higher!

The article states that this comes out to be one deployed PR per 3 days per developer. That is clearly doable and does not require any dumb moves like parent suggests.
In my opinion the goal isn't getting to some arbitrary number, it's making this possible. That there are no process/technical/cultural impediments not allowing you to do changes every single day.
And you're doing it in this comment again. No, it's not impressive without some actual knowledge on what the changes are about their value. It may very well be that people are heavily pushed to make changes for the sake of making changes, and most of them are not that useful. Or it may be that, as is common with overworked people, they make a lot of mistakes that require further changes to correct them (ok, not the types of mistakes that affect reliability stat much, but then that's not the only category). Or they experiment way too much with those experiments leading nowhere, so it's just wasted effort. Or...
The daily goal is just as artificial. There should be little impediments to implement valuable changes, not to do something daily
