Hello,
problem is not what SCID should allow. You want to import commented games
from other formats and they allow it.
It is not so clear what the PGN-Standard says about comments. But its de
facto standard allows comments before and after moves. So when it is used in
games information is lost during import to SCID.

Okay, I got your point. From a developers point of perspective I am not much
in favour to implement this feature. The comment editor would need sort of
two text-input boxes and the notation must be somehow reorganized supporting
visually comments that are meant to be "natural language".
Scrolling through some chess books I can't even find a single example for
your use case. So it seems to be quite common to annotate behind a move, at
least in chess books.
My impression is that, yes, you gain more flexibility. Being able to note
down comments even in natural language would be nice. But that gain is not
worth the effort to reorganize the comment editor, the notation window and
adding more complexity to the backend.
Though I would be interested to see how other chess software integrates this
feature.
