It's called a 'reference architecture'. It's intended to be used as a teaching tool and learning tool for a stack that has tremendous benefits for applications more complex than HN. Since everyone is familiar with HN on HN, they can look at that code and understand how it fits in with the big picture without having to learn a new app PLUS a new architecture.
