Would be great, but then it's a saturation game, and the other side doesn't have any compelling reason to hold back the same way. So it's contingent on how fair the platform is, and what nonverbal, out of band options remain.

HN is better than most in this regard thanks to community flagging, but even then there's a lot of it. Ultimately, it'd seem that the ratio you're describing skews a whole lot more towards the anti-ai sentiment side, than towards the anti-anti-ai one (or towards a stalemate). Or rather, that the latter sentiment is not common enough necessarily to thwart such comments. And so you see it reflected verbally instead.
