Totally correct, the results of your poll would be objective - a mere accounting of the results.
However, none of this alters the fact that readability and understandability in themselves are subjective, which is the point you seem to take issue with.
It's not subjective. It has easily measurable effects. Easier to read code is faster to spot bugs, faster to fix bugs, faster to teach unfamiliar developer who's just starting their career. It starts from a discussion on what is hard to understand (the very points I mentioned). And if you don't agree with my complains then please throw a randomized trial and prove it to me that my problems are only in my head and that other people don't have the kind of issues that I encounter when reading your poorly written code.
Again, I never disagreed with you. I merely pointed out that the properties of readability and understandability are subjective, which - by definition - they are.
