 Duplicate of #33516.

 Hi there and welcome to trac.

 This was [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/06/comments-are-now-
 turned-off-on-pages-by-default/ changed by design] in #31168. As part of
 these changes, the filter get_default_comment_status was introduced to
 allow site owners to enable comments by default should they wish to. An
 example:

 {{{
 function wp33535_open_comments_for_pages( $status, $post_type,
 $comment_type ) {
         if ( 'page' === $post_type ) {
                 $status = 'open';
         }

         return $status;
 }
 add_filter( 'get_default_comment_status',
 'wp33516_open_comments_for_pages', 10, 3 );
 }}}

 Modern WordPress development is focused on including sensible defaults as
 part of the core experience but allowing plugins to add settings for sites
 that require them.

 I'll close this ticket off for now, but you should feel free to add any
 bug reports and feature requests in future.
