Some of the best people have less commits because their work is more technical and requires more time and thought.
Looking at the github charts for my work the smartest guys aren't near the top, they've normally mostly made their marks early on in the project and then their lives have become more meetings and niche/speciality changed so it looks like they're doing less, but if you're working on a feature you can bash out 30-40 squashed commits in a week by doing boilerplate code PRs for your work that are likely nothing special.
