That's just the default `comment-style', globally.
You probably want to configure it to something else globally as well
(assuming you don't like line-by-line commenting with /*...*/ in

comment-dwim is just a wrapper that calls different comment operations
(e.g. comment-region, comment-kill, ...) depending on "context".
