Then later on confusion and questions, all easily solved if the PR (Jira ticket, etc...) had been read properly, or at all. It's very disheartening.

But I’m not sad at all if they’re not read. It’s there if people want/need it. If they don’t then it’s easily skipped. I’m also not mad if someone asks me a question that could’ve been answered by reading a comment… different people have different ways of learning and I am happy to show up in whatever mode they find convenient.
If a specific colleague is frequently missing info that was available in comments maybe that’s a growth opportunity for them to up their pace, and I might drop something in their suggestion box, but we’re all learning.
Give the people what they want, then. Why not literally put a "TL;DR" at the top, like an executive summary, or something? The important thing is that all the gory details are present for those who want and need them. For those who may not, such as people not reviewing and approving the PR, a literal TL;DR can be a godsend.
