That would be incredibly annoying on touch interfaces and generally not allow quick scanning of comments anymore. It would take a lot more time.

I suppose open threads by default would be more friendly, or maybe defaulting to open for mobile layouts.

But it taking more time would kind of be the point - opting in to participate rather than opting out by scrolling past content means fewer sarcastic comments about how a thread is off topic and irrelevant.
