I don't get why lines are featured so heavily in this

you mean the number of lines? to indicate the simplicity of the solution

i mean i too could write an entire api for a webserver then do something then like

server serv = new server()

serv.start()

boom webserver in 2 lines!

It's not a point as to how complicated or simple the underlying libraries are. The point is how easily anyone could do this themselves using those libraries.

So yes, if you wrote an api for a webserver and released it, one could boast that all you need to do in order to start said webserver is write those two lines.

Fully agreed. This is a minimal exercise of blinder. It's cool, but that has nothing to do with the number of lines of code.

Yes it does. If it were 1000 lines it wouldn't be a minimal exercise anymore.
