I agree with most of your thoughts about commenting, it is indeed a pretty good article. However, I disagree with some of your ideas and I tend to believe some comments are actually helping devs, especially junior devs.
Have you considered your development progress as a junior by reading some code comments? I found they put a lot of value when the code comments are explicit about every step the method they inspect is doing, because they met this type of code through so many tutorials where they comment after each step and telling them what exactly the next line of code is doing.
For mid to senior devs, yes, the comments are not that useful except they provide some good value (like you said). But for juniors, comments might be gold lines!
Just my 2 cents ✌
