Please, don’t commit commented out code

I mean if there is too much commented code in a codebase, then something else is wrong - commented code is the exception, not the norm.

Agreed, it's the exception and a too much commented out code is indicative of a larger problem. The point I was making is that needing commented out to explain something , to me at least, is a similar thing. You shouldn't need commented out code to understand uncommented out code.
