Non-programmers making sense of code in this way is extremely rare. I don't think this is a priority in programming language design, the same way that making dashboards accessible to non-pilots is not a priority in airplane design. That would certainly be a poor reason to sacrifice major improvements in airplane efficiency or safety. Designing simpler dashboards for student pilots as a learning device is of course a different matter.
