I think it is likely that the comments are more for the model than for the user. I would not be even slightly surprised if verbose coding versions outperformed light commenting versions.

On the other hand, I'm skeptical if that has any impact because these models have thinking tokens where they can put all those comments and attention shouldn't care about how close the tokens are as long as they're within the context window.

  The excessive comments might help the model when it's called again to re edit the code in the future - wouldn't be surprised if it was optimizing for vibe coding and the redundant comments reinforce the function/intent of the line when it's being modified down the line
