Another thought on why I have trouble with the highlights and notes of others.
I'm reading, suddenly I stumble across someone else's highlight. Now, I wonder why they highlighted that? Even if there is no note, the highlight alone breaks my concentration, the mood set by the author, etc. Not a bonus to reading, but a distraction.
Adding the possibility of someone else's notes makes the situation even worse. Now I stumble on their thoughts which could be wildly different from what I am perceiving/enjoying in the book.
The first thing I do on my new Kindles is turn off the "social" highlights and notes option.
