Is it though? Most code that LLM emits are easier to understand than equivalent code by humans in my experience, helped by overt amount of comment added at every single step.

That's not to say the output is correct, there are usually bugs and unnecessary stuff if the logic generated isn't trivial, but reading it isn't the biggest hurdle.

I think you are referring to the situation where people just don't read the code generated at all.. in that case it's not really LLM's fault.

Even if this were true, which I strongly disagree with, it actually doesn't matter if the code is easier to understand

It may not be the LLM's "fault", but the LLM has enabled this behavior and therefore the LLM is the root cause of the problem
