Comment (by justindocanto):

 @bordoni I disagree. Even if you hacked together something to only disable
 it when it runs on {{{wp-admin/menu.php}}} you would still have a broken
 pending comment count because the code blindly uses $awaiting_mod.

 Again, the idea of stopping the wp_comment_count query is a duck tape
 solution, and not a proper answer to the overall issue detailed on #32366.

 There needs to be a way to disable this menu item, and it's associated
 query. The easiest answer is a simple flag.
