After `comments` support was declared for pages in [60987](60987),
comments column and controls became visible as well.
Support is declared so that editor notes work and it makes sense.
Comments column on page list does not show / include count of notes. And
commenting controls do not affect the ability to leave notes on the page.
Since WordPress historically has not declared comment support for pages by
default, I believe the column and controls should be hidden unless plugin
or theme explicitly and intentionally declares the support.
Props to @mirasus for originally spotting the comment controls.
