Why would you touch the README file hundreds of times a year?

You're right about package.json, pnpm-lock etc though, but those are easy to filter out if the project in question uses them.

You're right, perhaps I should have said CHANGELOG etc.

Although some projects e.g. bump version numbers in README or add extra one-liner examples ....

Some readme files include changelogs. But aside from that I think this can still net some useful information. I like to look at the most recently changed files in a repo as well.
