Well the comments tend to be superfluous "whats" (describing the code itself) instead of the more helpful "whys." And they're almost never the most useful "why nots".

That's different to my (recent) experience. I get fairly insightful "whys". At least on bugfix commits.

Really? I find that Claude really likes to write "why nots" in comments when iterating on implementations and fixing bugs, to the extent that the comments grow into spot-logs of overly-specific documentation of what was tried and why it was scrapped.
