What if…

They knew that people would write coverage tests for getters and setters, and calculated that eventuality into their minimums.

So you're saying they knew engineers would be wasting their time doing useless things, but still went ahead? (instead of mandating 75% and spending 1/100 of the wasted time to adjust the metric to filter out getter/setter)

I just assumed they wrote a script to automatically generate all the setter/getter tests and then took a long lunch.
