it implies that the author of the code has no idea what they were doing.
I disagree. I am capable of writing a good commit message, I just don't really want to. Depending on the change, formulating a concise text that includes all relevant information can be quite time consuming.
I can travel to Italy on foot. Will I do that? Of course not. What does it imply? That I'm incapable of moving my body? Of course not! It just means I'm too lazy to do it and that there are faster ways to get to the same goal.
how do you write Pull-Requests? Just half-assing it? Writing good commit messages help you write a good PR as well (as it can be just a summary of the things you commited) But yeah, you do you.
There is a saying, which I don't generally agree with. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. That said, writing good code and describing code effectively are two different skills, and there is no guarantee any given individual will have both.
