I found this advertisement from Mercedes interesting: https://i.redd.it/wwxk8nqh88ex.gif

I can't speak for the quality of Mercedes interface (and this is obviously marketing for non-programmers) but LOC seems like an odd thing to be emphasising.

Because some marketing guru thought that it's a great idea to advertise it that way? Common...they are great cars

These things are quite random, because most likely they counted also all dependencies in - including LoC for OS kernel, all libraries, etc. And how much LoC is boost alone? :D

At one undiscovered bug per KLOc, that's basically advertising that their software is a disastrous ball of mud.

KLOC are something you spend, a debt you accumulate.

Sounds like it's full of spaghetti code.
