It depends on the project, but i'll try to set it like this, too many hands on the keyboard is the crowd, but projects are rarely solo effort. Too many things and one person rarely can cover all the areas.

There is a very cool technique called mobbing that can scale up to a dozen people collaborating realtime on a single program -- but there is only one keyboard and only one hand on it at a time.

I did mob programming at coding school and it was super slow and annoying. Not a fan of it, I find real time editing for everybody on voice call is way better.
