We very much do. The graph suggests an insane growth in PRs from almost zero to 90M. Now compare this misleading graph with this much clearer one, which shows that the growth over the last three years has been less than 80%: https://github.blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/octoverse-202...
PRs were the culmination of human work. Now PRs are generated by machines to trigger human work. So the growth graph is not really absurd.
That link shows the number of PRs created to be less than 10M though.
Yes, to be honest, that graph could use some improvements as well. I should probably just link to the blog post with actual numbers: https://github.blog/news-insights/octoverse/octoverse-a-new-...
