Its probably so developers are forced to take more ownership of their patches and not offer excuses

Its because Linus took the AI name off of the project he is working on and got called out.

Link to kernel lore plz. I find it hard to believe Linus got called out on anything and even more hard to believe he changed a policy based on that. He's not a billionaire.

No he didn't. The only branch without an LLM tag is one where it was used purely as an analytical tool and not to generate any code.
