They are called courtesy accidentals. Perhaps a little courtesy in speaking about your point of view and experience vs that of others would be welcome.
My experience with tonal but often modulating music played by highly educated and able musicians differs from yours. That doesn't lead me to denigrate your perspective nor to invite expletives in discussing which practices might work better in different circumstances. I will speak for myself: when I am playing in Db and there are passages with D naturals, I appreciate a courtesy accidental when the tonality of the moment later demands a Db, and I don't care if it lacks parentheses. So do many musicians with whom I work. That practice can help prevent mistakes when it is used consistently. There may be a number of considerations that argue for or against this practice. What seems clear to me is that it is working well under the conditions I live in. That's all I'll say about it at the moment.
