ops is assigned again just below, and the result of the assignment must be non-NULL.
Originally, the check for NULL was meant to be a check for the existence of the ops class: ops = ACCEL_OPS_CLASS(object_class_by_name(ops_name)); ... g_assert(ops != NULL); (where the ops assignment begot the one that I am removing); but this is meaningless now that oc is checked to be non-NULL before ops is assigned (commit 5141e9a23fc, "accel: abort if we fail to load the accelerator plugin", 2022-11-06).
