>commented (!) code,

Comments become stale and will often not be updated as the code changes.

This is what code reviews are for. Why would you exclude comments from that? It certainly doesn't happen in our team.

Comments often refer to stuff that's not directly in the "review window" i.e. the actual diff plus additional context you'll see in a typical code review setup.

So even if people are conscientious about reviewing comment changes (and absence thereof!), too this often gets missed.
