I totally follow your reasoning...
But if i post a link to a fediverse post without a comment on the post it is equivalent to a mastodon boost or in #activitypub terms an Announce.
But what if i want to share the post to my followers with my commentary that is not a "reply to" to original?
That is a "quote post" where I add my opinion not as a comment but as a new top level post for my followers to comment on.
