Comment (by joehoyle):

 I agree with this - though it's nice to have unauth'ed comment creation,
 at least at this point it seems pertinent to err on the side of caution.
 Themes that want to build comment experiences with the REST API can also
 use the PHP filter to change this if they wanted. It's more the widespread
 enabling that I think is likely to be a problem.
