Maybe it's safety critical software or there are downstream clients? Maybe it's open source? Maybe it's not actually every PR and we have an unreliable narrator? The post did start with "I hate process people", after all.
For what it's worth, I'm notoriously not a process person. But I've seen and respect stability they can bring to a team and product
fwiw way back i used not see the point of changelogs, but after experiencing what it's like to consume a lib or use software without one, also how useful they can be when you need to know what's changed, it i've changed my view on them.
