That only shows the most recent commit, which is IME often not substantive, just some treewide commit like "autoformat" or "moved class into another file" or whatever. I can click on the parent commit button repeatedly until I find all the info but that's really not a good interface for exposing the history of a class.

Each line in the GitHub web blame interface has a little icon which, when you hover over it, says "View blame prior to this change" - I use that all the time.

Yeah that's the parent button I was referring to in my comment.
