I have to add that yes I do read comments left by others in their code...

It helps me understand their code...

...it also helps me say "What the F*** were they thinking!?"

Do you work in teams a lot, just out of interest? Do you have to
alter/update/read other team members code a lot? Standards help. I
don't care what the standards _are_, as long as the people on the team
agree a standard between themselves it really does lighten the
workload.

Yes they do.

People who are writing code to an API that you've created read those
documents. Particularly if they don't actually have your source code;
they're using a plugin (or accessing an object via an interface and
don't have the implementation).

Less skilled coders using complex code read those documents.

Experienced coders who don't want to take the time to trawl through
possibly impenetrable code read those documents.
