I think at the very least comments should be allowed on those posts, even if only by high karma accounts to lessen the number of trolls.

  That's not a great idea, some of the folks here with the most karma are just familiar names who talk the most like myself, they don't always have great opinions.

    I agree, I'm probably in the same boat with 5000+ karma but for the most part worthless comments and oftentimes getting yelled at by dang, but some filtering would be better than none at all. My guess is that companies don't want people to comment on their posts because of fear of the conversation turning extremely negative, since probably most people to comment would be people who have a bone to pick for some reason. I notice that reddit also doesn't allow commenting on their ads, even though the ads present themselves for the most part as just another post(just like hn)

      I've seen reddit ads with comments enabled, I think it's an option.
