People piggyback on someone else's top comment to get attention for their unrelated reply. Happens to top level submissions too. Lately I just avoid reading comments to “Show HN” submissions because they’re often a combination of either “here’s what I use instead” or “I’m writing my own version of the same thing”. Which are fine but go make your own thread about it, gosh. - - - tiny voice inside my head: you see the irony, right? me, in response: I regret nothing. But yes.
