Can I remove Modern Comments and revert back?
Send feedback to Microsoft to let them know what you think about the so-called modern comments; for instructions, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-office-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11.
Microsoft's rationale about "posting" is mentioned in the support article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-modern-comments-in-word-edc6ae71-0a2d-49fe-8faa-986f1e48136a (which you may have seen already).
Finally, you should see an option to temporarily revert to the previous, more user-friendly interface at File > Options > General. Clear the check box next to "Enable modern comments."
It's interesting how many 'hates' this feature received here, but when one goes to the place, where it actually matters:
modern comments · Community (microsoft.com)
There are not that many votes.
Please vote to change the way modern comments look where it matters, or it will never be changed.
Thank you. L.

I am asking my students to submit their work as a pdf and using Adobe to make comments. I have given up on using Word for anything where I need to give feedback.
- I find that PDF comments are no easier than the modern Word comments -- I'm asking my students to submit a negative feedback to Microsoft about modern comments.
Hi, it is a search for Modern Comments, there are quite a few independent topics related to Modern Comments there, some are very valid (I voted on those), some I disagree with, so you need to go through them and vote for those that you agree with.
