It's more of a psychological weapon than anything. Even though the chances of some 7.62mm rounds actually damaging a jet are low, seeing thousands of tracers coming at you, regardless of caliber, can often deter an attack run or at least make the pilot nervous
It's also worth noting that most armies were still teaching infantrymen how to engage low-flying aircraft with rifles until the end of the cold war. There's an '80s US Training film about it on youtube titled "Small Unit Self-Defense Against Air Attack | Retro Military Training"
Great editing, Leni Riefenstahl would be proud. All those shots and cuts in fitting propaganda style. No words just music a "Triumph of the will". Leni Riefenstahl wäre stolz auf seine großartige Bearbeitung. All diese Aufnahmen und Schnitte im passenden Propoganda-Stil. Keine Worte, nur Musik ein "Triumph des Willens".

cool how they're still training to fire the MG3 as low flying anti-air purpose, knowing that it will be insane and less practical against jets

What’s the music in the background?
It's a German ww1 song named: „Wo alle Straßen enden”.
