As a note. Comments were disabled/hidden during the last months of the D7 version of api.drupal.org. Then, on new launch for the the D10 site, comments were not even imported. Related: 📌 Missing legacy comments on Drupal 7.X API docs Active
The medium/long term plan for this module is to actually remove any code/logic regarding comments.

@fjgarlin Does this mean that it will not be possible to comment on api.drupal.org pages?
I do not personally see any use for comments on api.drupal.org, even if sometimes I have commented saying which function in Drupal 8 replaced a function in Drupal 7, which should be no longer necessary. There are probably some comments about how to correctly use Drupal API that cannot have another place to be posted, but I also know that comments on api.drupal.org pages would have a limited visibility. (I can image a comment posted on a Drupal 10.1 page, for example, that would not be seen by somebody who watches the same page, but for Drupal 10.3.) - 🇪🇸Spain fjgarlin
Correct. That is the current behaviour and the plan going forward.
Also, that was the case, a comment made in 8.1.x would not show up in 8.2.x. In addition to that, when cleaning up old branches, comments would dissapear with them.
Newer versions of Drupal had less and less comments.

The best way is to file a docs issue and improve the docs so they are clearer.
