Hot take: Even these ‘useless’ comments help, since they relieve you of the burden of reading the code itself, even if it’s trivial. One line of English is easier to parse than one line of trivial code.

Exactly! Maybe i've never seen a Pizza Box before. For you your code may be trivial. But for someone else an "open before eating" helps a lot.
