Could it be that they removed /all/ comments from the codebase when they made it public, to not release some sensitive information that was in them?

We're a Ruby shop and we have pretty much zero commented code. Ruby's intended to be readable enough not to need them and when we do need them, it's a sure sign we need some refactoring.

possible, but I've worked in similar sized codebases that didn't use them intentionally (linted them out)

the idea being that the code should be readable enough to not require then
