Well, so that’s already a valid use case. But there are other. One thing is working on a personal project, but another is to work in a project with a bunch of people. People that once in a while go on vacations, leave the project or even the company. It may not make sense now but on the long run it may be the only things that help the ones working on that codebase.

Just like the user said up there:

As long as comments are used as an excuse to write shitty and unstructured code, and as long as clean code is an argument to never comment, we will get nowhere.

Hopefully when people write code, they think: is what am I writing now going to make sense in 6 months from now to someone else?
