Well yeah, real world programmers make mistakes.
So, you wanna nerf everything that could produce the wrong
behavior? Should be reduce the speed limit to 5mph because cars
can kill people?
There is nothing in this example that shows the comma operator
is evil. Any programming language as a plethora of similar
issues. Should we get rid of || && etc because one might forget
to double it?
e.g., if (x | y) when one meant if (x || y)?
It's not the languages fault if you can't pay attention to what
you are doing!
The code looks like he copy and pasted the 2nd alias line and
forgot to remove the depth part. Again, this speaks nothing
about the comma operator but about the programmer.
The reason for getting rid of it is because it's borderline
useless. It causes more accidental bugs than it enables
deliberate uses.
