Same thought here. I thought something along the lines of hackertyper. Something that looks like real code, but isn't.

Hackertyper is absolutely using real code.

Specifically, it's using groups.c from the Linux kernel:

Compare that to the code used by Hackertyper:

For whatever it's worth, I didn't share your expectation. The real lorem ipsum is just a fixed load of text, after all - describing something as "lorem ipsum but for code" shouldn't necessarily imply any functionality.

Given that lorem ipsum is a fixed load of text, as you said, I would have expected a lorem ipsum for code to be a fixed load of code (that's nonsensical but looks real enough from afar).

I thought the same thing.
