Well, they usually just divide the word count by 233 (or similar). It's just a word count obliquely transposed into base 60. A programmer read in a study that the average person read 233 words per minute and decided that this would be a great way to estimate reading time for everybody on the planet. It doesn't take anything whatsoever into account

It's literally just a method for obscuring the word count
