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."
I completely agree - this is extremely inconvenient and doesn't make sense at all!
I was able to go back to the old version but I fear the day this option will be disabled.
Another issue is that, even though the comments are in English, I have to align them each time to the left so that the words are in the right order. I think this has to do with the fact that I have an RTL language as one of the languages installed.
