I don't think comments make much sense anywhere in Org (e.g., in an
example block or in a source block). Also Org has no inline comment
syntax (and I don't think it needs one: it is no programming language).
So comments do not really fit in paragraphs.

Last, but not least, it is also easier to parse it that way.

Now, if you want to improve comments anyway, you can always provide
patches. There's some non-trivial work involved, though.
