Yeah, exactly. It seems like you understand just fine.

You claimed that “literally no one” has a different review workflow than yours. I do, and my experience is that clear commits make reviews both faster and deeper, which is very helpful specifically in a high-pressure, deadline driven environment where being slow and wrong is costly. You’re of course free to disagree and work differently.

You gotta go slow in order to go fast, and utterly useless commit messages and inappropriate commit sizes will bite you in the ass. They don't have to be the most beautiful commits ever, but ideally there's a minimum standard we can all live up to.

To use restaurants as the analogy, Michelin star-grade dining might be unavailable, and we might have to live the Olive Garden, or even McDonald's life. Regardless of which restaurant we're at though, if the food is moldy and gross, we shouldn't eat it.
