>> Yep, no one ever reads them and the cost to benefit ratio is extremely low.

You're projecting. YOU never read them. I used to be the same way. Now I see other people reading them and I've started to myself. I follow other people's efforts and progress. It's a great way to learn not only the code but to communicate better.

Yes, in the literal sense "no one ever reads them" is obviously false as you provided contradictory evidence. But I find it equally obvious that the commenter meant it figuratively.

Is there any data to support your or his claim as more representative of the population?
