I found this very curious - by their own admission, this also means that most code _does not get reviewed_ before it lands in production. To me, this is quite scary, and I would be very hesitant to adopt this for any large-scale project or company.
IMO, code review is a cornerstone of code quality and production stability - the number of dumb (and smart!) mistakes in my code that have been caught in CR are numerous, and it's a big portion of my workflow. There are times when I feel it's redundant (one-line changes, spelling mistakes, etc), but I wouldn't trade those slowdowns for a system where I only got review when I explicitly wanted it.
Of course, for pre-production project and/or times when speed is of the utmost concern, dropping back to committing to master might make sense, but for an established and (I'm assuming) fairly large/complex codebase, I would think that it would be best for maintainability and stability to review code before it's deployed.
