Many of the early mathematicians were mystics. So in a way the incomprehensibility is a feature and not a bug but for those that are well versed in the language it is a rich source of analogies and metaphors.

> "Good mathematicians see analogies. Great mathematicians see analogies between analogies."

To see analogies between analogies requires compressing concepts into symbols that at first glance are not as comprehensible as regular words and sentences but math is really just another language and people can learn it and apply it fruitfully.
