Not that I don't agree, sometimes unnecessary comments kind of make it a bit complicated to understand what's going on. BUT, an important point to mention is that coders write code in different styles and manners, there is no right and wrong when it comes to comments. Sometimes just seeing that comments exist (even if some lines are pointing the obvious) makes a difference to the inexperienced or to the new-comers. Not to mention that "obvious" here depends heavily on the experience of the developer with language, framework, or whatever they're using. I guess the person writing the code should at least get to write comments the way the like. You're a programmer, reading a couple of extra comments won't ruin your day, just skip it if it's obvious.
