I agree with you 100% unless your commit message is "Fixes" or "WIP commit" or "Need to change branches" or "Checkin" or something equally bad. I don't need a paragraph but when I'm looking at a line of 15 commits in your PR I need to know a general sense of what you did. Good single-line commit messages help with this.

You're right that 99% of the time they will never get looked at again. And that's fine, but when deciding how much time to spend on your PR they're very helpful.
