Many of my users like this because they don't want any comment
functionality to show up on their posts. Other users don't like
it. I like using this method. However, I don't like it as a
requirement. This is one of those cases where I'd leave it up to
the theme author to make a decision about.<br>

A lot of it goes back to the days when people were trying to use
blog posts for something other than blog posts (pre-custom post type
days). Then again, some folks just run blogs without comments.<br>
