I believe it's easier to read a native language than code. I would also counter there is no harm to comments like this so just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean someone else won't.

Okay. My point is in that in the real job you don't have time for writing this type of comments. Instead you have your current task to work on, the issue that was re-opened and needs to be revisited, the bug to argue with QA about, the deadline to discuss with PM, the code-review to do ASAP. You simply don't have time to write the perfect code that is full of the comments in the "native language".
This rather sounds like you don't have the time to not do it.

Imagine using the time that spent on "re"-visiting "re"-opened bugs that are vague enough to be argued about on writing code that doesn't need these "re"s in the first place.

I contend that that might be a difficult place to get to especially because it's a team effort as well, but I feel it's more productive and less stressful to work like that.

I am too long in IT to imagine anything like that.
