The original code is explicit as to the intended purpose:

        # Auto generate random X-Forwarded-For if doesn't exist.
        # Otherwise AWS forwards true IP address in X-Forwarded-For header
        x_forwarded_for = request.headers.get("X-Forwarded-For")
        if x_forwarded_for is None:
            x_forwarded_for = ipaddress.IPv4Address._string_from_ip_int(randint(0, MAX_IPV4))

 The DOGE guy just stripped the comments out.
