This would allow developers to instantly see all the nodes where a description has been written.

All core nodes already have descriptions so wouldn’t this just add clutter to the majority of flows ? Would it be better to”encourage” node authors to improve their nodes or offer to help them ?

I think you are talking about the help section, but I was talking about the description that can be set by the user/developer.
