I doubt it would happen because this would draw more attention to political statements and other polarizing topics that HN doesn't seem interested in highlighting. I'd be curious to know what comments you're thinking of that you believe are highly controversial and should be boosted. My guess is there are some, but they are massively outweighed by comments on topics that are inherently controversial.

Let's say a controversial technical detail like "monorepos are good" or "you don't need 100% test coverage" . Or an unconventional business idea like "managers should be more commanding with their subordinates". Those will not be universally upvoted and it would be nice to see unique or upcoming technical & business opinions.
