You could, but why is it important?

Are you asking why transparency in the git history and how the code was created is important?

How do you git bisect when a bug was introduced in the mega-commit paradigm? This generally beneficial most for the primary developer.

Separately, the presence of mega commits is a red flag in the age of ai and slop. It's a warning sign for too much eyes-free coding. The agents are not good enough for this. If you are not staying in the loop and managing changes, then I have serious concerns about the security and reliability of the software.
