Sometimes, depending on how it's built, the DRY principle is almost impossible to follow without needing to do a rework. Which'll change the estimation ratio dramatically.

Therefore I totally agree with your post, even though the lack of SOLID Principle.

Also, I advise and strongly recommend that every developer should always use English in code documentation.

The irony here is pretty delicious. The comment actually is in English as I don't speak French. raison d'être is a writing device. I have only ever seen it in English articles (since I can't read French). It is just one of those phrases that has transcended its origins. And while I would balk at a dev writing an entire comment in French, I have no problem with common recognizable phrases like this.
