IMO, `comment-dwim' is an inferior command.
It's OK for end-of-line commenting, and I use it
(only) for that.

(And the command that `M-;' was bound to by
default before `comment-dwim' was just as good for
end-of-line commenting.)

For block commenting, `comment-dwim' doesn't let
you nest and unnest a given level of commenting,
and control the number of comment chars used, etc.

For block commenting, `comment-region' is much
better.  And better still, I think, is the command
I posted a few minutes ago, `comment-region-lines'.

FWIW, I too agree about this.
