In my experience the engineers who write good commit messages are also the engineers who read them and also the engineers who understand their value and also the best engineers on a team. Your argument that "most engineers don't care about commit messages, so they must not be important" is akin to "most people are overweight, so health is unimportant". |

I would say, yes, health is unimportant to the average person because of their actions. I don't think that's good or fair, but it is the current state of the world.
If you want to continue the analogy: my argument is akin to telling someone trying to lose weight to research the most bioavailable supplements -- despite the fact they still eat a Snickers bar every afternoon. It's a micro-optimization that has been elevated to "table-stakes".
