You're probably right. But:
- how many exactly?
- how serious is it? can't they just customize their comment color?
- why should these users get special treatment?
I mean, I find the default colors in font-lock to be illegible
(i.e. I can read every letter, but the colors significantly slowdown my
reading), so I had to change most/all of them.

The downsides of course are:
- it costs CPU time even though in the end the result is only visible for
those specific users who happen to be using 8-color ttys (or those few
extra rare ones who read the NEWS and figured they want an angrier fruit
salad and thus changed their font-lock-comment-delimiter-face to be
visible in other cases as well).
- it annoys those users who do run 8-color ttys but whose red is readable
just fine.
- maybe some users want it, but they can't want it that badly since they
haven't asked for it.
- The most important problem: it's majorly buggy.
