Comment:

 @jwz I'm going to tag this for `dev-feedback` to see if a conversation can
 be sparked to determine _if_ this should be done.  I agree, it seems
 reasonable since those comments are no longer visible.

 In the interim, you could always filter the number of comments for each
 post when the count is updated by using the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_wp_update_comment_count_now/
 pre_wp_update_comment_count_now] hook and checking the parent comment of
 each child comment's status.
