Comment (by longman2020):

 If the theme does not use comment_form(), I think that's the theme problem
 not wordpress core.

 Yes that's true and I know that we can fight spams with many ways, but
 what I meant was **real users** who just write fake comments to fill the
 website field for building links, not robots.
 Akismet and other spam fighters block robots not real users.

 Fake comments reduces the quality of articles and all the website.
 Also most of the links are low quality websites with low domain authority,
 which is even bad for SEO.

 If it will be eliminated, the user who wants to write a fake comment **in
 order to get links**, will leave the site, when he/she sees that there is
 no website field.
