Yeah, I've always worked at non-tech companies with pretty small teams and no roles like that. But it seems like any place with Staff+ engineers should know better than to try to stack them up against more junior devs based on some metric.
Case in point, I worked with a Staff software engineer (I was also the same level) who consistently, half over half, had zero diffs to their name.
Because they were leaning more into a product archetype - which it turns out they were very suited to.
