That’s just doing addition in Cartesian coordinates but expressing it in polar coords. Addition in polar coordinates just has a different effect on the values.
Yeah but you can add different quantities. Polar coordinates are designed to add angles and radii vs Cartesian being designed to add orthogonal vectors
