I watched pre merge code reviews become a requirement in the industry and catching bugs was almost always the #1 reason given.
The times I've seen a 2nd set of eyes really help with the understandability of code, it was almost always collaboration before or while the code was being written.
I would estimate something like 1 out of 100 PR reviews I've seen in my life were really focussed on improving understandability.
