Comment (by fabioneves):

 Replying to [comment:10 rachelbaker]:
 > Would a better approach here be to use `post_type_supports()`?  Remove
 `comments` from the `supports` array when the page type is registered.
 >
 > Sites could re-enable comments with `add_post_type_support( 'page',
 'comments' );`
 >
 > Using `post_type_supports` checks is how the REST API will determine
 what fields to include in endpoint responses.

 This solution from @rachelbaker is much cleaner imo.
