Between Bob's army and insipid comments rising to the top, the comments sections of a lot of interesting, community oriented channels became useless (more so, even, than before). If nobody is actually looking at the comments section, then it doesn't really make technical sense to keep it as it is - it's just busy work for their engineers. So it makes sense then for them to either attempt further fixes, or, in true Google fashion, simply remove the feature altogether.

As a viewer I've already eliminated it by joining their Feather beta.

As a video producer, I'm forced to keep comments enabled so I can keep in touch with my fans.

Thankfully I use two separate Chrome identities.
