It is a fictional visualization of a real thing where complex systems often have functionality that fails if something isn't included even if it isn't used.
For example, if a game had a process for verifying the game assets were not altered by the user then removing those assets could break the check due to them not existing instead of just being altered if it wasn't written to handle the absence of the asset.
Fake but plausible and conveys the intended message to non-technical people.

Put him in the coconut, boys

Damn, if only this real thing you speak of had a single example that isn't total bullshit.
Dev must have been new, that's your standard load bearing coconut. Pretty common for source engine games.
Can't hear the clopping? Then someone deleted the coconut. Pretty nice for debugging.
For debugging I use a swallow.
African or European?
Not that kind of swallow
Neat reveal of the magic trick. Makes sense and pretty simple, but sometimes it's the simple things right in front of us that are the hardest to see.
In case anyone was wondering, this was tested and is Not true
