That is a really good point. I spent some time putting ml equations into code and the code representation always seemed so much simpler to me. Many math equations seem a bit like too clever one liners in code haha

"clever one liners"
That's exactly it! It's basic clean coding style where it's better to use meaningful names and sometimes write something in 2 or 3 lines that is more interpret able than to write a perfect one-liner that no one will be able to unpack.
In this regard I almost wish we had a de-facto standard in math of presenting the 'condensed' perfect form of the equation and a more chunkier version.
What I like is that recently I saw some researchers annotating the symbols in their equations [1].
