FWIW, only recently Calc added the additional info to the comments.
Additionally, normal comments (or "notes") in Calc are not the same as
"tracking changes" comments, in which the author and date+time data probably
have greater importance.

There are cases in which automatically adding this info in each comment might
be useful, but there are (many) cases in which users want a _minimal_ comment
(such as instructions, or a reminder), especially when the spreadsheet is aimed
at themselves (not to be shared or edited by others). In those later cases,
repeating unnecessary text within each comment is not useful (or even
distracting, or even bothering).

Some Calc users might even claim that this (recently) added data should be OFF
by default, imitating what was the "normal" situation until recently in LO
Calc.

The (recently) added data might be useful for some users, but might be
counterproductive too, so it needs some kind of toggle option or method to set
it ON/OFF.
