It's not about effort as much as it is about keeping your job, while not injecting chaos into a code base.

    I just don't imagine any company actually using tokens as a metric

    Happened to a friend of mine at his company. It seems the company wanted to justify their subscription costs.

    I'm sure if you are corpo-brained (brain dead) enough it makes sense. AI = magic efficiency machine, therefore an employee that uses more tokens = more efficient worker. Of course, in practice most competent people affected by this policy at his company started burning tokens with wild goose chases when they needed to increase that metric.
