Rarely do I see people examine individual commits, perhaps because it is already established that PRs should small and branches short living.

The point about bulled list of changes is a good one.

I examine commits regularly, sometimes going way back in time. Maybe not daily, but pretty frequently. Usually, I'm trying to figure out why something is the way it is (so I know if it can be changed, removed, or whatever), and a clean history makes this exponentially easier.
