And who updates that documentation three months later when a bug gets fixed or a new requirement get implemented?

The person who changed the code, it's just ordinary maintenance. The comments may not execute, but I submit they are as much a part of the program as the executable code. Maybe over time those comments are condensed, or even removed; no different than any other refactoring or cleanup.
