Comment:

 From a UX perspective, removing the comments icon is not a good thing.

 There are users, like bloggers, that rely too much on the comments icon as
 part of their daily work. If for any reason, they login and there are no
 comments, they will certainly panic believing the site is broken,
 resulting in a lot of wasted time and stress.
