Why are there comments on PyPI? Moreso, why are there comments

No, what's absurd is thinking that the act of publishing software
somehow gives you the right to demand control over what others say
about your software.

It's your package. It's the community's page about your package.
I think of PyPI as a community-owned noticeboard. Its primary purpose is
to allow the community to find good packages -- the benefit to the
community is why it exists, not the benefit to the author of the
package.
In my opinion, the community is best served by a good comment/review
system, one which avoids the worst trolling, and allows authors the
right of reply, but does not allow authors to censor inconvenient but
honest reviews.
+1 :-)
