Because it's annoying to think there's a comment on a thread, open it, and see that it was only a bot.

It also screws with post sorting on the front page since Lemmy still doesn't have a high enough rate of new posts/comments.

Why not block it and never worry about it again?

It still shows as a comment, except now you see nothing when you click the post.
