Again, Org is neither LaTeX nor HTML.

As I explained in a previous post, it's only a kludge hiding the real
problem: comments cannot appear anywhere, even if we don't take export
into account. Actually, handling comments during export is the easiest
part of the problem.

The parser is unrelated to the export process, so export pre-processing
shouldn't happen in org-element.el. Also, parsing a buffer mustn't
modify it in the process.
Even if you move it to ox.el, this is not an acceptable solution. Think
about the following example
- item 1
# with a comment
- item 2
If you simply delete matching lines, you break the list.
