That is a nihilistic take. That it's pointless and everything about the domain (measurement of productivity) is meaningless.

"Productivity" is no more made up of a concept than "good work". The fact that many attempts to measure it are quite dumb (e.g., the idea of using LOC as a metric) does not mean the whole idea is not worth considering or discussing.
