Sometimes comments are poor without being worthy of a conversation about it. The commenter can always ask if they see downvotes and are confused as to why.

    In that situation those low value comments that aren't explicitly rulebreaking just proceed to get no upvotes and are functionally the same as a comment that got downvoted. So there isn't really any value gained from having downvotes in this scenario, while they provide negative value in other scenarios.
