For me, the thing is, commit messages aren't just for other people. They can be invaluable in case you need to look back for something. I even write them for my personal repos that aren't even on the internet, because it's really just kinda dumb not to.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that everyone else has to work as methodical as you do for any project they do. Even if it is more efficient and saves time in the long term.
