How so, templates make for less code usually? Or like template meta prog?

I think it’s because each template specialization works kind of like a new copy of a class.

Still not getting it, I mean you don’t even get to see the code? IDK

That’s my best guess, in the sense that that’s what the compiler ends up producing, for templated code: the same code copy-pasted for however many different use cases you have.
