Also, a lot of commits are save point in nature (like if they will be squashed or rebased before merge/push), and the alternative for me is to name them "progress dump" or something because I don't want to look at the diff of an arbitrary commit just to come up with a sensible message.

Though for that I use the AI git message button in Cursor these days. But you don't need to be a noob vibe coder to find it useful.

The haters all have github repos where they've resorted to low quality commit messages at least from time to time.
