Makes sense.

org-git-version is very useful when people report bugs.
M-x org-submit-bug-report supplies org-git-version output for bug
subject. Thus, we can easily check which git commit their build
corresponds to.

I am not very familiar with all the code paths our Makefile and
autoloads take from setting ORG-VERSION to generating the appropriate
Elisp constants.
However, I do note that mk/targets.mk contains the following:
ifneq ($(wildcard .git),)
ORGVERSION ?= $(subst release_,,$(shell git describe --match release\*
--abbrev=0 HEAD))
ifeq ($(ORGVERSION),)
# In elpa.git, there are no tags available. Fall back to using
# the org.el header.
ORGVERSION := $(patsubst %-dev,%,$(shell $(BATCH) --eval "(require
'lisp-mnt)" \
--visit lisp/org.el --eval '(princ (lm-header "version"))'))
GITVERSION ?= $(ORGVERSION)-g$(shell git rev-parse --short=6 HEAD)
else
GITVERSION ?= $(shell git describe --match release\* --abbrev=6 HEAD)
endif
GITSTATUS ?= $(shell git status -uno --porcelain)
else
-include mk/version.mk
GITVERSION ?= N/A
ORGVERSION ?= N/A
endif
Note that we already have a way to parse Org version from lisp/org.el,
similar to what the commit you referenced does.
It is just that this code path is not used by default.
We can remove the current default and simply use
ORGVERSION := $(patsubst %-dev,%,$(shell $(BATCH) --eval "(require
'lisp-mnt)" \
--visit lisp/org.el --eval '(princ (lm-header "version"))'))
GITVERSION ?= $(ORGVERSION)-g$(shell git rev-parse --short=6 HEAD)
all the time.
I do not know if more involved fix is required (because I am not
familiar enough with the relevant code).
