> This doesn't make any sense.

It makes sense when you can be liable for what others say, and when you don't want to maintain a small community forum under each post, and when you want you blog to be a platform for your ideas.

> No one is going to email you or write a blog posts for some minor remark. Not only will you not get any discussion on your site but you also would not get corrections if you'r wrong on the subject, which hurts your blog.

I've gotten such emails in the past. Written too.

> Now there are easy ways to implement comments even for static sites, specially with the so called 'serverless cloud' servers.

Easy ways available only as long as companies who sell them are available. Not also that, but with user-hostile tracking code packaged in. And even if self hosted, then adding lots of burden for not much gain, given it needs to be maintained and secured.
