It's common at most mega-corps like google. For example, if a utility function in an internal library was deprecated and replaced with a different function that has the same functionality. A team might write a script which generates hundreds/thousands of PR's to make the migration to the new function.

You don't want a single PR that does that, because that would affect thousands of projects, and if something goes wrong with a single one, the whole PR needs to be rolled back.
