I advise checking out the users other comments before jumping to conclusions. Doesn't look AI generated to me, rather just an "individual" writing style. Only because it's possible doesn't mean its true. Maybe user can confirm?
Otherwise just downvote or flag I guess, but this comment of yours just reads as an insult to a person that maybe did not put the most effort into writing their comment, but seems genuine to me at least.
I've worked on a product that reinvented parts of the standard library in confusing and unexpected ways, meaning that a lot of the code could easily be compacted 10-50 times in many place, i.e. 20-50 lines could be turned into 1-5 or so. I argued for doing this and deleting a lot of the code base, which didn't take hold before me and every other dev left except one. Nine months after that they had deleted half the code base out of necessity, roughly 2 MLOC to 1 MLOC, because most of it wasn't actually used much by the customers and the lone developer just couldn't manage the mess on his own.
I'm sick and tired of all these AI generated comments. Oh you got the AI to use lower case! Wow it still writes the exact same way.

Hm. Not convinced. What makes you so sure?

The now removed stuff, in the original, talking about a blue whale was somewhat odd.

sounds like the “eigenprompt”
On a medium sized system that isn't young and fresh deleting 60 KLOC is highly unlikely to reflect a "system rethink".
Is this, from elsewhere in the thread, a system rethink, https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/36715/files ?

I wouldn't call that a system rethink.
