Problem/Motivation

Currently, to get an entity form, I have to know that I need to work with the entity form builder:

$build['comment_form'] = $this->entityFormBuilder()->getForm($comment);

Proposed resolution

I should be able to get the form via a helper method from the entity:

$build['comment_form'] = $comment->getForm();

However, the code flow and internal DX of the entity help methods is pretty confusing right now, so it would be nice if it was possible to make that easier to follow.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
