As someone who operated marine VHF ("bridge-to-bridge") professionally for years, I'll say that these recordings sound perfectly intelligible. I imagine ATCs and pilots have a similar culture of "get the point across as fast as possible, but not so fast that it is no longer unambiguous." Especially airband, where everyone in each area tends to guard and use a single frequency.

If there's a set way of saying something, then pilots don't have to guess what we mean if every controller says it in a different way.
